“I wanted to….”Amadou Onana sent Heartfelt message to Everton fans after his exit to Aston villa was confirmed
Amadou Onana has left Everton for £50 million.
Amadou Onana has sent a farewell message to Everton supporters after confirming his transfer to Aston Villa for a fee of £50 million plus add-ons. Onana joined Everton from Lille in August 2022, making 75 appearances, scoring four goals, and helping the club avoid relegation in the 2022-23 season.
In a video message to fans, Onana said: “Hi everyone, it’s Amadou here. I just wanted to send you one last personal message because my time at Everton Football Club has come to an end.
“I wanted to thank everyone for the last two years. Not just my team-mates but the kitmen, the physios, the chefs, greenkeepers, player care – everyone at the football club that made me feel comfortable from the get-go. I learned a lot about myself as a man and as a player, I grew a lot. Met unbelievable people, team-mates I now call friends like Idrissa [Gana Gueye], Doucs [Abdoulaye Doucoure], and so on.
“I just wanted to thank everyone for making me feel comfortable and at home. It’s been amazing, Goodison nights, Goodison Park itself and last but not least, I wanted to thank the fans for the very warm welcome I received from the very first day I came in. I really felt the love and really appreciate it.
“I just wanted to wish everyone at the club the best for the future for whatever comes next. Toffees, thank you.”
On his move to Villa, Onana told the club’s website: “It was a bit of everything. There’s a healthy atmosphere here to grow as a player and as a man.
“The team played very attractive football last season with loads of goals and will now be playing in the Champions League. I’ll be playing in the Champions League again and that’s very exciting. We also have a manager that’s one of the best in the business and I think he can take my game to the next level.”
