As straight as the transfer may seem on the surface, it is not as straightforward as the selling club FC Nordsjaelland earlier confirmed the details of the transfer.
The Danish Superliga club disclosed that the 19-year-old Black Stars forward has been directly loaned to Olympique Lyonnais after joining Belgium Jupiler Pro League side RWD Molenbeek on a permanent deal.
Eagle Football, the owners of Olympique Lyonnais, are also the owners of the newly promoted Belgium top-flight club, RWD Molenbeek.
Nordsjaelland confirmed this in a statement on their website in their goodbye message to the explosive teen sensation.
