CONFIRMED ✅: Medicals scheduled after underground agreements was sealed- £65M hot attacking prospect CHOOSE to join Arsenal over other Premier League clubs as Mikel Arteta gets his Summer signing- jersey number picked, player already bid farewell to his former teammates as Arsenal move has been 95% confirmed
Arsenal has been in contact with Everton regarding a potential move for Amadou Onana, a 22-year-old midfielder who joined the Toffees in 2022 for £33 million ¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵. Onana has been an integral part of Everton’s squad, making 72 appearances and featuring in 63 Premier League matches. He is currently with the Belgian national team for the European Championships and is expected to play a key role in their campaign.
Arsenal has been interested in Onana for some time, and their recent contact with Everton suggests they may be willing to make a move for the midfielder ¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵. Everton, who were deducted eight points last season for breaching Profitability and Sustainability rules, may be under pressure to sell key players like Onana to ease their financial burden.
Onana’s potential move to Arsenal makes sense, given the Gunners’ need to strengthen their midfield ¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵. With Mohamed Elneny’s contract expiring and Albert Sambi Lokonga set to leave, Arsenal will need to find replacements. Thomas Partey’s injury record is also a concern, and Onana could provide a younger and more reliable option in midfield.
Arsenal has shown a willingness to buy players from within the Premier League in recent times, and Onana could be the next addition to their squad ¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵. The potential transfer fee for Onana is reportedly around £50m, which could be a relatively cheap option for Arsenal considering their financial resources.
