News about Ernest Nuamah

Just a couple of miles from Ibrox, Glasgow opened its doors to Les Miserables as the first of four showings went ahead at The Hydro. Tickets will cost you a pretty penny to see the French musical masterpiece over these next few days, commanding the same lavish fees as many of the Lyon players who took centre stage in a 4-1 dismantling of Rangers. Chief among them was Malick Fofana, the brilliant young Belgian winger who lit up this Europa League clash with his electric pace and trickery for the visitors.

Marco Silva's side were active in the transfer market over the summer, signing the likes of Emile Smith Rowe, Joachim Andersen and Sander Berge for sizeable fees in bids to improve their squad. Other faces walked through the door too, but one potential deal that didn't get over the line was a move for Lyon star Ernest Nuamah (left), who ended up staying with the French club. The reasons for why that happened, however, have now reportedly come to light, and they involve the 20-year-old supposedly breaking down into tears during the medical and fleeing.

AFCON is finally here, following months of rumors over which players will be ruled out of club action for up to four weeks. Following the most recent round of play, the continental tournament will take place from January 13 to February 11, with players having to join their national teams. This year's edition of the Ivory Coast will be held in Senegal, with Senegal as the reigning champions after defeating Egypt on penalties in the 2021 tournament (which took place in 2002).
