Amadou Onana transfer latest as Everton and Arsenal face financial dilemmas

Amadou Onana is a player that Arsenal

has long-term interest in, but the

likelihood of a move with Everton will

depend on both teams’ financial situations.

The north London team has had their

eye on the midfield player for a while

now, strengthened by the Belgium

international’s impressive performance

in Royal Blue during their match at

Goodison Park in February of last year.

However, it is believed that the

 

championship contenders are

approaching the January transfer

window cautiously, paying close

attention to Premier League profit and

sustainability criteria. Before Mikel

Arteta can think about strengthening this

month, sales might be required. The FA

Cup loss to Liverpool was the most

recent proof that, should funds become

available, acquiring a new striker should be the first priority.

Any agreement would also need Everton

to reverse its earlier assessment of

Onana. Club executives were eager to

compare the 22-year-old to Chelsea’s

Moises Caicedo signing, which was finalized in the summer.

Everton defeated West Ham United to

sign Onana in the summer of 2022, and

ever since then, the player from Lille has

been the subject of rumors. He has since

made 49 Premier League games, making

his name under Sean Dyche and later

Frank Lampard. Arsenal has consistently

shown interest despite the expanding

experience. In Dyche’s first game in

command, Everton overcame Arsenal at

Goodison Park, with Onana emerging as

the most impressive player. Following the match, he became a hot topic of

discussion in the away team’s dressing room.

Onana, who Manchester United had

explored in the summer, has made it

plain that he appreciates the experience

he is gaining on Merseyside, but remarks

he made while serving as an

international suggested that he has a

long-term goal of playing for a team that competes in Europe.

Everton has long anticipated interest in

the player, and in some ways, this has

always been the plan. Under director of

football Kevin Thelwell, he was the first

to arrive as the club’s intended new

approach to the transfer market, which

includes finding talent that can develop

with the team before being sold at a profit.
