Arsenal are aiming to sign Amadou Onana but while Everton are willing to do business, the club may have to wait until the summer to do business. At Stamford Bridge, Conor Gallagher may have to consider his future at Chelsea amid interest from Tottenham, while wonderkid David Oduro is on trial with the club, and defender Ian Maatsen is likely to be sold in the summer.
The Mirror reports that Arsenal will find it tough to sign Everton midfielder Amadou Onana this winter.
That is despite Everton’s willingness to sell despite their own financial problems in recent years, because Arsenal need to balance the books themselves.
“Arsenal are yet to open talks with Everton over a potential deal for Amadou Onana,” the paper explains.
“While the 22-year-old midfield powerhouse is a player that has been tracked by the Gunners, there has been no active movement regarding a January transfer at this moment in time. Reports in Belgium have been peddling that discussions are now underway between the two clubs but Mirror Football understands that is not the case.
“It is no secret that Arsenal have been hamstrung by Financial Fair Play regulations following a £208million transfer spree last summer and their net spend has amounted to nearly £400million in the past three calendar years. They are therefore operating diligently this month.
“As such, a big-money transfer for Onana does not currently seem feasible – even if he would immediately improve their options in the middle of the park.”
