Following a suggestion by Alan Myers of Sky Sports that a Champions League club had made an enquiry about Everton’s Amadou Onana, the Liverpool Echo claim that Arsenal have made an approach for the Belgian.
Onana has been linked with the Gunners for a few months now, while the likes of Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Chelsea and Newcastle have also been mentioned as possible suitors.
Arsenal making their move now could be an attempt to steal a march on any competition ahead of Euro 2024 where the midfielder had been hoping to put himself in the shop window.
Everton signed Onana from LOSC Lille for £33m two years ago and are hoping to get between £50m and £60m for him in any deal this summer.

Lille are due 20% of any profit the Blues make on the player.

Who knows, we might even be able to hold on to Jarrad. Onana has not impressed me at all and making a healthy profit on him together with today’s Friedkin news is relative sunshine for us.
I’d prefer a bidding war but will top clubs be doing serious business while the Euros are in full swing?

Apparently (BBC) we have rejected £35M from Man Utd for young Jarrad. Shocked I am!

Good luck to him – Arsenal will suit him.
Hope he takes their pens.

Yes, he’s raw but watch him for Belgium when he has decent players around him. Different animal. A decent Euros and he’ll be worth more than what’s being quoted.
He’s young and playing under so much pressure at Everton that I’m not surprised he’s not amazing every game. But he has got unreal potential – I’d rather keep him for a couple of years and sell him for much more than make a £10-15M profit on him and have to give 20% to Lille.
Maybe with a new owner we can start changing the mindset from ‘who can we most afford to loose…’ to ‘who should we bring in to make them better’?

Funny, but I only see Onana as an Arsenal type player. Anything over £45M will be surprising.

Geoff, cue the wide eyed angel faced urchin with the “pleeze by Jarod Branthwate” cardboard sign at OT just before the window slams shut… grrrrr

I like Onana. I know hes marmite but like Stones, Lukaku and Iwobi (just joking) hes potentially a great player.

I was thinking thinking about the Rooney transfer last night funnily enough.
How North West Tonight (a supposedly regional tv segment for our American cousins) devoted so much time to that young Manc during their live broadcast from Old Trafford. Not a single mention was made of all the kids on Merseyside who idolised Rooney or had his name emblazoned on the back of their (now defunct) replica shirts.
A completely insulting snub to so many of their (nominal) audience. Never forgive. Never forget.

I’d try and get Tierney involved in any deal.

Big total over-rated waste of space. Be happy to see him move on and feel we will not miss him one bit.

Would like to see Nketiah come here as part of the deal.
