Sport nationBreaking: Everton Star’s Future in Doubt as Arsenal Transfer News Opens Up £45m Signing Opportunity
As the summer transfer window approaches, Everton fans are anxiously waiting to see which players will stay or leave the club. With the deadline for submitting accounts to the Premier League looming on June 30, Everton may be forced to sell some of their key players to avoid penalties. One such player is Amadou Onana, a highly sought-after midfielder who has been linked with top clubs like Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Arsenal.
According to Fabrizio Romano, a reputable transfer expert, Arsenal’s latest transfer news could make them a viable option for Onana. Speaking on JDFootball, Romano confirmed that the Ghana midfielder is set to leave Everton this summer. Arsenal has been eyeing Onana for some time, and with their need for a defensive midfielder, he fits the bill perfectly.
Onana’s impressive performances last season, featuring 37 times in all competitions and boasting the best defensive duel win rate in midfielders across Europe’s top five leagues, have made him a hot commodity. Everton has set a price tag of £45m for the Belgium international, which is £12m more than they paid to sign him from Lille in 2022. With three years left on his current deal, Everton has leverage in any potential transfer negotiations.
While previous reports quoted figures like £55m-60m, which seemed to deter some clubs, Arsenal’s interest could spark a bidding war. Onana’s age and talent align with Arsenal’s ethos of building a young and hungry squad. His potential partnership with Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard in midfield could be a game-changer for the Gunners.
As the transfer window opens on June 14, Everton fans will be watching anxiously to see if their club can hold onto Onana or if he will join the ranks of Arsenal’s talented squad. With the Toffees’ financial situation and the player’s desire for a new challenge, this transfer saga is far from over.
