Unai Emery further strengthening his squad ahead of Aston Villa’s Champions League campaign; Villa have already brought in two central midfielders this summer in Enzo Barrenechea from Juventus and Ross Barkley from Luton Town
Aston Villa are in talks with Everton as they look to finalise a £50m deal for midfielder Amadou Onana.
Unai Emery is further strengthening his squad ahead of Aston Villa’s Champions League campaign and agreeing personal terms with Onana is not expected to be a problem.
Onana has made 72 appearances for Everton, including 37 last season in all competitions after joining from Lille for £30m in 2022.
Onana played for Belgium at Euro 2024 this summer as his nation was knocked out by France in the last 16.
Villa have already brought in two central midfielders this summer with the additions of Enzo Barrenechea from Juventus and Ross Barkley from Luton Town.
