Everton & Fulham both in last-gasp approach to sign same player in next 48hrs - Fabrizio Romano

Everton and Fulham have both made last-gasp approaches to sign Ernest Nuamah ahead of the transfer deadline, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The transfer specialist reported via X on Wednesday (28 August) that talks have taken place between both Premier League sides who are keen to sign the Olympique Lyon star before the Friday 30 August deadline.

Nuamah could leave the Ligue 1 club before the window slams shut, but so far it doesn’t appear to be clear whether or not the Toffees or Marco Silva’s side are leading the race for the Ghanaian international’s signature.

Will Ernest Nuamah exit Lyon amid Everton transfer rumours?

After a quiet few weeks in the transfer window, it seems as though Sean Dyche and Kevin Thelwell are looking to step up their recruitment in the final days of August after a difficult start to the Premier League season.

The 20-year-old winger is capable of playing anywhere across the frontline and his versatility would add an extra dimension to Dyche’s side that is desperately required if they want to climb away from the dropzone this term.

He may not have always been the most consistent source of goals throughout his career, especially as he only found the net three times in 33 games last term, but he creates plenty of chances per game which is what the Toffees desperately need.

Whether or not the Blues have the financial muscle to beat Fulham to his signature could be the only issue in the final days of the window.

The current takeover situation on Merseyside has made it hard for Dyche to make too many new additions.

Hopefully, Everton will manage to find a way to get this deal over the line before the window slams shut at the end of August. If they do, it could help them kick on after a rotten start to the season which has left them rooted to the foot of the table.
