West Ham United target Amadou Onana to join Everton
Exciting
In our view, Amadou Onana would be an exciting signing for Everton and would make Frank Lampard’s side better and stronger in the middle of the park.
The 20-year-old already has a decent amount of experience in the first team and has played for the Belgium national side already.
Onana made 11 starts and 21 substitute appearances in Ligue 1 for Lille last season.
The defensive midfielder scored one goal in those matches.
Onana also made two starts and six substitute appearances in the UEFA Champions League for Lille last season.
Everton’s gain would be West Ham’s loss.
