Ernest Nuamah Appiah (born 1 November 2003) is a Ghanaian professional footballer who plays as a left winger for Ligue 1 club Lyon, on loan from Belgian Pro League club RWD Molenbeek, and the Ghana national team. [3]
Nuamah was born and raised in Asafo, a suburb of Kumasi. He started his career with Right to Dream Academy, a football academy based in Eastern Region, Ghana. [4]
In January 2022, Nuamah joined Danish Superliga side FC Nordsjælland. [5] He made his debut on 10 April 2022 when he came on in the 67th minute for Magnus Kofod Andersen to score an 84th minute goal in a 2–2 draw to Aarhus GF. [6] [7] He was adjudged as the team's man of the match at the end of the match. [8] In September 2022 Nuamah was adjudged the young player of the month. [9]
On 19 March 2023, Nuamah scored a brace including the winning goal in a 2–1 win against Brøndby. He received the award for Danish Superliga Player of the Year at the end of the season. [10]
Nuamah started the 2023–24 season off strong, scoring a hat-trick in a 4–1 league victory against Viborg on 24 July 2023, the first matchday of the new campaign. [11]
On 30 August 2023, Nuamah joined Belgian side RWD Molenbeek, before being immediately loaned to French side Lyon for the rest of the season, [12] [13] with a purchase option worth €25 million, [14] [15] plus €4.5 million in potential add-ons, in favor of the Ligue 1 club. [15] The loan move was made possible through a common ownership between the two clubs, John Textor's Eagle Football Holdings, and was necessary to avoid Lyon's spending restrictions given by the Direction Nationale du Contrôle de Gestion (DNCG). [16] In the process, Nuamah set a new record as Nordsjælland's highest-grossing sale. [12] [15]
