Amadou Onana, a 22-year-old midfielder, joined Everton from Lille in 2022 for £33m and went on to make 72 appearances, scoring four goals.
He impressed in the Euro 2024 campaign, playing every minute for Belgium. Now, he’s making a move to Aston Villa in a £50m deal, giving him the opportunity to feature in the Champions League for Villa in the upcoming season.
Aston Villa, who finished fourth in the Premier League last season, are preparing for their Champions League debut and have been strengthening their squad.
After selling Douglas Luiz to Juventus for £42.35m in June, Villa boss Unai Emery identified a need for a new defensive midfielder. This led to Emery’s decision to sign Amadou Onana from Everton. Aston Villa’s summer spending has reached approximately £140m with the arrival of Amadou Onana.
