Accra, Aug. 22, GNA – Black Stars winger, Ernest Nuamah has completed a loan deal to French side, Olympique Lyon FC worth €25 million.

The deal comes with a €5 million add-ons and an option to buy.

He previously attracted interests from PSG, Tottenham, Dortmund and others.

The 19-year-old has been a phenomenal figure for his former side Nordsjaelland over the past years, with his skilful play and pacy runs.

The Nordsjaelland prodigy now holds a record as the most expensive footballer in the history of Danish football after smashing the €17million record previously held by Kamaldeen Sulemana.

He also journeyed with the Black Meteors at the 2023 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.

To his record, he managed to bag 15 goals and four assists across all competitions for Nordsjaelland last season.
