Everton will offer a cut-price deal for Amadou Onana, due to their financial situation.
Arsenal are not losing hope in securing the services of Everton star Amadou Onana. They have opened discussions with the Toffees over a deal for the Belgium international.
Everton have slapped a £60million price tag on Onana. Arsenal will also face the task with Manchester United. Respected journalist Ben Jacobs admits Onana is open to sealing a switch to Gunners.
Ben Jacobs has spoken to GIVEMESPORT about why Mikel Arteta will not be able to strike a cut-price deal this month. The North London club are searching for a defensive midfielder during the transfer window.
Onana is open to join Arsenal after Arsenal’s discussions with Everton over a mid-season deal. As per Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, negotiations could develop quickly thanks to his stance.
Ben Jackbos said, “Everton want to keep hold of Amadou Onana, and if they are to change that stance they would expect £50million or more. Let’s not forget that Everton paid Lille £33million. “We have seen links with Manchester United and Arsenal, but nothing is advanced and both sides would be unable to proceed in January at that kind of price even if they wanted to.
“The idea that Everton will offer a cut-price deal, due to their financial situation, is inaccurate to my understanding. It might be different in the summer, but Onana is not a player Everton want – or plan – to lose mid-season. “Onana is open to Arsenal in particular, but I am not aware of anything progressing at this stage.”
