Everton’s Amadou Onana is open to join Arsenal this January

Amadou Onana eyes January move to Arsenal amidst transfer speculations

Everton’s lively midfielder, Amadou Onana, expressed his desire to join Arsenal during the current January transfer window. The 22-year-old, who joined Goodison Park in a high-profile £33 million transfer, is now gaining interest from the North London club, with Manchester United also apparently interested.

According to sources, Onana’s likely move to Arsenal faces financial challenges, as the Gunners may struggle to match Everton’s high £50 million valuation. The club, which previously spent heavily during the summer transfer window, must navigate Financial Fair Play limitations. Also, Everton, who is presently facing relegation worries, is reluctant to split ways with an important player midseason.

Onana, an emerging star, is considered as a valuable long-term asset for any top-tier club. Arsenal, competing for league glory, sees him as an excellent companion for Declan Rice, improving their midfield with defensive prowess. The midfielder’s arrival might give much-needed defensive protection, giving creative players more space and improving Arsenal’s backline.

While the Belgian has been linked with a move to Manchester United, his commitment to wear the famous red and white of Arsenal provides a serious challenge to the Red Devils. With ambitions to compete at the top level, Onana’s possible move to the Emirates may be an important turning point in his career, with the Gunners seeking his services before the end of the season.
