Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is eyeing reinforcements for his squad, with a particular interest in a 22-year-old midfielder valued at £80 million, amid Everton’s challenging season.
As the Premier League title race heats up with just 13 games remaining in the 2023/24 campaign, Arsenal remains in contention, closely trailing behind leaders Liverpool and Manchester City. The intense battle for the title promises an exciting climax, reminiscent of iconic moments like Aguero’s last-minute goal and Michael Thomas’s dramatic winner.
Meanwhile, Everton finds themselves in a precarious position, facing the possibility of relegation. This has prompted discussions about the potential departure of midfielder Amadou Onana, a key asset for the struggling Merseyside club.
Reports suggest that Barcelona is interested in securing Onana’s services, alongside other top clubs like Manchester United and Chelsea. Despite Everton’s initial asking price of £51 million, recent sources indicate an increased valuation of £80 million for the talented midfielder.
Arteta and Arsenal are monitoring the situation closely, aiming to capitalize on Everton’s predicament and strengthen their midfield options. With Barcelona also in the mix, the competition for Onana’s signature is expected to be fierce, highlighting his value and potential impact on any team.
