Aston Villa, who will compete in the upcoming Champions League, secured the signing of Amadou Onana, a Belgian international midfielder, this Saturday. Onana will leave Everton, switching clubs in the Premier League.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the deal is closed, with the Villans paying around 58 million euros, plus a percentage of any future sale, to acquire the 22-year-old defensive midfielder. Onana will sign a contract valid until 2029, pending a medical examination.
Onana, who has been capped 17 times by Belgium and represented the national team at Euro 2024, will bid farewell to Everton after two seasons. He scored three goals and provided one assist in 37 matches during the 2023/24 season, helping the club finish 15th in the Premier League.
Throughout his career, Onana has showcased his talents at various clubs. He began his professional journey at Hamburg, where he honed his skills and developed into a promising young player. His impressive performances caught the attention of Lille, where he continued to grow and make a name for himself in European football. His time at Lille further established him as a formidable midfielder, leading to his move to Everton.
At Everton, Onana quickly became a key player in the squad, known for his defensive prowess, physicality, and ability to contribute both offensively and defensively. His departure marks a significant loss for Everton, but a promising acquisition for Aston Villa, who are bolstering their squad ahead of their Champions League campaign.
Aston Villa fans will be eager to see how Onana's addition impacts the team, as they aim to make a strong impression in both domestic and European competitions.
