Arsenal has made an attempt to buy Everton midfielder Amadou Onana during the current transfer window, as TEAMtalk can exclusively disclose.
In the summer of 2022, Onana moved for £33 million from Lille to Goodison Park, where he has become one of Everton’s most vital players.
This season, the Belgium international has made 16 appearances in the Premier League and has scored one goal.
Onana, who is 22 years old, is only anticipated to get better with experience, and TEAMtalk is aware that Mikel Arteta, the manager of the Gunners, is a big fan of his.
Despite spending a club record £105 million on Declan Rice in the summer, the manager is eager to bolster his midfield.
Recent weeks have seen links between Arsenal and a number of midfielders, notably Douglas Luiz, a mainstay at Aston Villa.
Onana, however, has captured the North Londoners’ interest, and TEAMtalk can disclose that they may make an offer for him soon.
Everton will demand huge fee for Onana
Several teams have expressed interest in Onana as a result of his strong Everton performances.The Belgian was strongly linked to Chelsea throughout the summer, and Manchester United had previously contemplated making an offer for him.According to TEAMtalk sources, Arsenal is eager to sign Onana before the competition does, and they hope to do it this month.Onana would probably be open to moving to the Emirates because he has already stated that he is eager to play for a prestigious club.But Everton will undoubtedly not allow their star midfield player to go for little money.TEAMtalk has confirmed that the Toffees are adamant about keeping Onana in the lineup through the middle of the season and will demand a hefty fee. We are aware that they consider him to be among the Premier League’s most marketable assets.Although Everton’s valuation is currently unknown, prior projections indicate that they may be seeking to acquire a deal for between £70 million and £90 million.In light of this, it would be intriguing to watch if Arsenal makes a serious offer for the midfield player in the upcoming days, putting their money where their mouth is.
