Financial constraints pose obstacle to Arsenal’s pursuit of midfielder Amadou Onana
Arsenal’s pursuit of midfield dynamo Amadou Onana has hit a financial roadblock, casting doubt over the prospect of an imminent signing during this transfer window.
The Gunners, in dire need of midfield reinforcements with Thomas Partey sidelined, have identified Onana as a prime candidate to fill the void.
Onana, a standout performer for Everton and hailed as one of the most combative midfielders in England, emerged as Arsenal’s ideal long-term replacement for the injured Partey.
However, reports from Het Nieuwsblad suggest that the North London club is facing financial constraints that make Onana’s potential transfer too expensive at the moment.
Despite the undeniable allure of bringing the Everton midfielder to the Emirates, Arsenal seems unlikely to intensify their pursuit or push for a deal before the transfer window’s closure.
The financial limitations appear to be a significant hurdle, leaving the Gunners in a precarious position as they seek to bolster their squad.
Looking ahead, it is suggested that Onana’s destiny lies with a bigger club, making a move at the end of the season more plausible.
However, the report highlights the potential challenges Arsenal may encounter then, with other suitors ready to flex their financial muscles.
Unless Onana expresses a strong preference for a move to the Emirates over other interested clubs, Arsenal’s aspirations to secure the talented midfielder may face an uphill battle come the summer.
