Villa close to signing Everton's Onana for £50m

Aston Villa are in advanced talks to sign midfielder Amadou Onana from Everton for a fee in the region of £50m.

The 22-year-old featured for Belgium at Euro 2024 and would have the opportunity to play Champions League football next season.

Onana joined from Lille for £33m in August 2022 and has gone on to make 72 appearances for the Toffees, scoring four goals.

Arsenal held an initial conversation with Onana's representatives earlier this year but did not follow up on their interest.

It is understood Villa's fee meets Everton's valuation of the midfielder, who also had interest from Manchester United.
