“Everton can cope without him and….” Top Journalist reveals the player that Everton cannot lose and why they had to sell the other of their BEST PLAYER, is it a good or bad move?

Everton fans will be thrilled to hear that the club is close to selling Amadou Onana to Aston Villa, according to David Ornstein. The Belgian international is set to undergo medical tests ahead of a £50 million move, which will likely end Manchester United’s pursuit of Jarrad Branthwaite.

Dan Bardell, a Sky Sports and talkSPORT journalist, believes that Everton would prefer to keep Branthwaite over Onana. In an exclusive interview with Villa News, Bardell said: “I think for Everton, it’s the lesser of two evils. They won’t want to lose Jarrad Branthwaite or Onana this summer. Onana was out of the team at points towards the end of the season, so they can cope without him. Branthwaite was a big part of one of the best defenses in the Premier League last season. Everton will think that if they can keep that backline together, they’ll have a platform to build from.”

Bardell added that Everton can use the money from Onana’s sale to bring in a midfield option and an attacking player. He also believes that Everton fans will not be too disappointed to see Onana go, especially if it means keeping Branthwaite.

Onana’s departure would be a significant loss for Everton, but the club appears to be willing to let him go in order to keep Branthwaite. The 22-year-old center-back was one of the standout defenders in the Premier League last season and is seen as a key player for the Toffees.
