According to a Spanish media Sport, Arsenal and Chelsea They are already in contact to sign Everton Midfielder Amadou Onana before the interest of Barcelona.
The Belgian star has been one of the Merseyside side's best players and could leave the club this summer with the aim of winning trophies at a bigger club. according to SportArsenal and Chelsea are in contact with the Toffees and have already made calls to inquire about the midfielder.
Barcelona are also interested in signing the former Lille player, but doubts are being raised over his ability to meet the asking price on the table. Everton are seeking £51m for their prized asset this summer, while Barcelona are unable to pay more than £34m for the 22-year-old.
Very talented
Onana has been instrumental for the Toffees from the number 6 position this season. He won Sixty-five% of his ground and aerial duels per game along with 2.5 tackles. The midfielder has also impressed with his strong attacking play and his incredible work rate. He is only 22 years old and could improve in the coming years.
Chelsea and Arsenal have been credited with interest in signing him, but we would be surprised if the former approached. They already have Moisés Caicedo, Enzo Fernández, Romeo Lavia and Lesley Ugochukwu, who can play in the midfield. Conor Gallagher is also capable of playing the role.
Gallagher seems the most likely to leave Mauricio Pochettino's team in the next transfer A window opens, but it is not a position in which Chelsea needs reinforcement. Arsenal, however, could make a move for the talented Belgian with the possibility of multiple midfield departures at the end of the current campaign.
Thomas Partey could be sold due to his poor injury record, while there are also doubts over the futures of Mohamed Elneny, Jorginho and Albert Sambi Lokonga. There could be significant investment in the midfield department this summer and Arsenal could make a real bid to sign Onana from Everton.
