Everton FC is on the verge of making a significant addition to their squad, with prospective owner John Textor recommending Olympique Lyonnais winger Ernest Nuamah for a £38m transfer. Despite Everton’s ongoing financial struggles, Textor is eager to make a statement of intent ahead of his potential takeover.
Textor, who currently owns Lyonnais, has held talks with Everton manager Sean Dyche about Nuamah’s potential move to Goodison Park. The 20-year-old Ghana international has impressed in Ligue 1, and Textor believes he would be a valuable asset for the Toffees.
However, Everton faces stiff competition for Nuamah’s signature, with Arsenal and Fulham also showing interest in the winger. Lyonnais is reluctant to let Nuamah go, but may consider offers in the region of €45m (£38m).
Textor’s involvement in the deal is a significant development, as he seeks to make a positive impact on Everton before his takeover is complete. Despite the financial challenges facing the club, Textor is confident that he can make a difference and lead Everton back to success.
The potential signing of Nuamah would be a major coup for Everton, who have already made five new signings this summer. However, the club’s financial struggles have made it difficult for Dyche to make any further additions to his squad.
Textor’s recommendation of Nuamah is a clear indication of his ambition for Everton, and his willingness to invest in the squad. While the deal is not yet complete, it is clear that Textor is eager to make a statement of intent ahead of his takeover.
In addition to Nuamah, Everton is also close to signing Lyonnais midfielder Orel Mangala, who would join his teammate at Goodison Park. The double signing would be a significant boost for Dyche’s squad, and would demonstrate Textor’s commitment to the club.
As the transfer window draws to a close, Everton fans will be eagerly awaiting news of Nuamah’s potential signing. With Textor’s backing, the club may yet make a late splash in the transfer market, and set themselves up for a successful season under Dyche’s leadership.
