William Hill: Chelsea want to bring in a Everton midfielder, who is extremely capable and Manchester United have also been interested in him.
According to news from journalist Tavorieri, Chelsea have begun discussions over a deal for Everton's Amadouonana. Before that, there didn't seem to be a scandal between the two sides, so the news is now attracting huge attention.
Will Onana leave Everton this summer? The midfielder only joined the Toffees at the start of the 2022 23 Premier League season, but he has already impressed in England. It was a memorable season for the club, who finished the season in 17th place, almost relegated outright.
However, Onana made more than 30 league appearances and became an important player in the team's first team, working hard in midfield and scoring a number of goals and some assists along the way.
His performances have also made the 21-year-old a true talent compared to other players in the same position in Europe. For example, the Belgian's battles led to him winning 90 per 2 minutes17 aerial balls, which puts him in the top 7% of the top flight.
In addition, he is 2 per 90 minutes60 steals put him in a high ranking. It shows that he is ready to fight for every ball in midfield and is not afraid to engage in hand-to-hand combat with opposing players in the game.
After Everton's brilliance, his value is now rising. Manchester United have added him to their wanted list, but the latest report from credible journalist Tavoreri today reveals that Chelsea are now in talks over a possible transfer.
The Blues have also set their sights on Onana and have already 're-discussed' his move. With Everton struggling financially on their own and potentially receiving £55 million in transfer fees from him, the Toffees could eventually be forced to be prepared to sacrifice the midfielder due to ongoing FFP battles and a "desperate need for cash".
'Chelsea Football Club has resumed Onana's pursuit, but the Blues should have said they wanted to bring him in, and of course there were rumours that Manchester United wanted to bring in the player as well,' said Tavoleri. At the moment, the blue car is once again showing strong interest. Everton FC are desperate for cash and are hoping to recoup around £55million in the deal. So Onana is likely to transfer. ”
When does Onana's contract expire? Onana's contract with Everton is still a few years away, and while Everton undoubtedly want to keep on with the midfielder, everyone seems interested in him and he could leave the club this summer.
According to football journalist Josh Bunting, any club signing him will get a "smart" player, adding that the Belgian is "comfortable" in possession and "very capable of dribbling", while talented scout Koulig has praised his physicality as a "dominant" player in the air and "tenacious" in tackling the ball.
Chelsea will be hoping to revive their squad at that point and if they sign Onana, a deal for Onana will certainly strengthen their midfield.
Chelsea are all over the world looking to find a new midfielder, but Onana is well worth the attention and signing, with a large midfield coverage and a lot of quality, and from a Chelsea point of view, they could really consider signing a player rather than looking at someone who is incredibly expensive but probably doesn't have much to offer.
