Aston Villa, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur have all been heavily linked with Amadou Onana in recent months.
Villa has been particularly active in the summer transfer window, securing six new signings as they prepare for their return to the Champions League. Arsenal, having challenged for the Premier League title for two consecutive seasons, will aim to go all the way next year. Meanwhile, Spurs, under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou, are looking to strengthen their squad in pursuit of a top-four finish.
All three clubs are reportedly interested in Onana, one of the top midfielders currently outside the Premier League’s top six. According to David Ornstein, it appears the 22-year-old is poised to join a club at the higher end of the league.
Amadou Onana is set for Aston Villa, ahead of Arsenal and Tottenham. The Athletic journalist revealed on X that Villa is finalizing an agreement with Everton for Onana, outpacing Arsenal and Tottenham. The deal is valued at around £50 million, with personal terms already agreed upon for a long-term contract.
Unai Emery is eager to bring Onana to Villa, and the player is enthusiastic about playing for the Spaniard and joining the Villans, added Ornstein.
Villa is set to win the race for Onana. The 22-year-old has proven his quality at the highest level and is expected to improve further. This transfer saga appears to be nearing its conclusion, with Villa likely to emerge victorious amid strong competition.
Villa and Emery deserve credit for their impressive performance both on the pitch and in the transfer market over the past few years. They now seem poised to secure one of the Premier League’s best midfielders, ahead of rivals Arsenal and Tottenham.
