Aston Villa are reportedly interested in signing Everton midfielder Amadou Onana during the summer transfer window.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Aston Villa have now established contact to sign Belgian midfielder Amadou Onana in the summer transfer window. The Villans hope to land the Everton midfielder for around £50 million.
Onana has been linked with a move to Arsenal as well, and it remains to be seen whether Aston Villa can win the race for his signature. Onana has established himself as one of the best defensive midfielders in the Premier League, and he could prove to be a quality acquisition for the West Midlands club.
Douglas Luiz is expected to leave Aston Villa this summer, and it seems that they have identified Onana as his replacement. The Belgian midfielder joined Everton for a fee of around £33 million, and the Toffees are unlikely to let him leave for cheap. He is likely to cost a substantial amount of money this summer, and it remains to be seen whether Aston Villa are prepared to break the bank for him.
They have secured Champions League qualification for the next season, and the midfielder is likely to be tempted to join them. It would be a major step up in his career and he would get to showcase his qualities in the UEFA Champions League.
Arsenal keen on Amadou Onana
Arsenal remain keen on Onana as well. They are looking to bring in a quality long-term alternative to Thomas Partey, and it remains to be seen whether they can sign Onana this summer. The Gunners have the financial resources and the pull to get the deal done. They are a bigger club compared to Aston Villa, and the opportunity to play for them will be more exciting for the player.
It remains to be seen where he ends up eventually. He has been fighting relegation with Everton, and a move to Aston Villa or Arsenal would allow him to compete for trophies next season. Joining a big club, and playing alongside top class players will help him improve as a footballer as well. He will certainly hope that Everton agree to sell him for a reasonable price this summer.
