Ernest Nuamah
22-Year-Old
Lyon
Ligue 1
Option to face Rennes
Nuamah (knee) is back available for Sunday's clash against Rennes, according to coach Paulo Fonseca, per Le Progres OL. "We're getting Malick and Ernest back, who are in the squad for Rennes, and who can help us if we need them. Our two flanks have more options now, that's good."
ANALYSIS
Nuamah has been working his way back from the ACL injury he suffered almost a year ago, and his inclusion in the squad is a remarkable milestone in what has been an incredibly long road back for the Ghanaian forward. Coach Fonseca's comments suggest he will be eased in from the bench rather than being thrown straight into the starting lineup, but having Nuamah available again gives Lyon more attacking options on the flanks for the final push of their Champions League qualification campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Everton showing interest
Everton are interested in signing Nuamah, according to Football Insider.
ANALYSIS
Everton could use another winger to bolster their depth in the final third, and Nuamah could be available for the right offer due to Lyon's financial problems. Other teams in the Premier League are expected to target Nuamah, though, so the Toffees might have competition for the services of the 21-year-old Ghanaian forward.
