Nea Salamis are being linked with a move for Ethnikos centre-back Emmanuel Lomotey as the Ghanaian’s future in Cyprus remains uncertain.
The 28-year-old, who plays as a right-footed central defender and wears the number 12 shirt for Ethnikos, is the subject of transfer speculation over a switch to the Famagusta club from the Cypriot top flight to the second tier. The reported probability of the move is currently listed only as “?”, underlining that talks – if any – are at a very early stage and the transfer remains firmly in the rumour category.
Lomotey, born on 19 December 1997 in Accra and standing at 1.90m, is valued at €375k on Transfermarkt, a figure that would represent a modest outlay for Nea Salamis if a deal were to involve a fee. With no publicly available contract expiry date at Ethnikos, there is also scope for intrigue over whether the defender could move as a free agent should his deal run down or prove easy to terminate.
The Ghanaian has been operating in the Cyprus League with Ethnikos Achnas, featuring in their recent domestic campaign at the heart of defence. In his latest recorded outing, he lined up for Ethnikos in the Cypriot top flight against league opposition earlier this season, contributing his height and aerial presence in a match that underscored his role as a core part of the back line. Detailed official statistics for that fixture have not been disclosed in the data provided, but his continued selection reflects the trust placed in him by Ethnikos.
With Ethnikos established in the top division and Nea Salamis currently in the Cypriot 2. Division, any move would be a notable step across the island’s football pyramid. If the transfer materialises, it could offer Lomotey a fresh platform to reassert his value in European football and shape the next phase of his career in Cyprus.
