Everton Football Club is on the verge of selling Amadou Onana to Aston Villa for £50million, and journalist Alan Myers believes the Toffees will use the funds to sign a winger and defender next.
Onana’s departure will be a blow to Everton, but the transfer fee is a significant boost to the club’s finances. The sale will allow Kevin Thelwell and Sean Dyche to target bigger names in the transfer market.
Everton has already made two signings this summer, with Iliman Ndiaye arriving from Marseille and Tim Iroegbunam joining from Aston Villa. The latter may be a potential replacement for Onana in midfield.
The influx of cash from Onana’s sale will likely lead to more transfers at Goodison Park. Everton fans can expect a busy end to the transfer window as the club looks to strengthen its squad for the new season.
In other news, Everton is still pursuing Napoli midfielder Jesper Lindstrom, who has been compared to Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes. The Danish midfielder has struggled for game time at Napoli but previously impressed at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Everton’s interest in Lindstrom highlights the club’s ambition to compete with top Premier League teams. With the funds from Onana’s sale, the Toffees may be able to secure a deal for the Danish midfielder.
The transfer window is heating up, and Everton fans will be eager to see who will be arriving and departing Goodison Park in the coming weeks. One thing is certain – the Toffees are in for a busy end to the transfer window.
