Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Everton mainstay Amadou Onana amidst interest from Arsenal.
Ange Postecoglou is looking to further reinforce his squad ahead of next season. After a reasonably impressive first season at the North London club, the Australian manager seeks more depth in the centre of the park and according to Ignazio Genuardi, Tottenham have entered the race for the services of Arsenal target Amadou Onana.
The Belgian midfielder has established himself as one of the mainstays in the Everton first team since arriving at the club in 2022. The 22-year-old has been a consistent performer for both club and country and his work hasn’t gone unnoticed.
Arsenal are one of the clubs who are quite interested in his services. After once again falling short in the Premier League title race, Mikel Arteta wants to further bolster his squad. He wants someone who can form a dependable partnership with Declan Rice and Onana is quite high on their wishlist.
While the Gunners are positioning themselves to make a move for him, they will face stiff competition from rivals Tottenham for his services. Postecoglou seeks more depth and quality in the centre of the park and with Pierre-Emile Højbjerg likely to leave, the Belgian international could come in as an ideal replacement.
He is an integral part of Everton’s first team and his contract with them runs until the summer of 2027 but they could still sanction his departure amidst their financial struggles. The Toffees could let him leave for a fee of around €60 million.
Onana will add physicality and defensive cover to the Spurs midfield. The opportunity to play for the Londoners will be an exciting option for him as well. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can get the deal done.
