Amadou Onana Joins Aston Villa From Everton
Aston Villa has completed the signing of midfielder, Amadou Onana from Everton in a £50m deal.
The 22-year-old played every minute of Belgium’s Euro 2024 campaign and now has the opportunity to represent Villa in the new season’s Champions League.
Onana joined Everton from Lille for £33m in 2022 and made 72 appearances for the Toffees, scoring four goals.
He was linked with a move to Arsenal in 2023, and a host of top clubs were reportedly keen this summer.
Villa, who finished fourth in the Premier League last term, are strengthening for the challenge of Champions League competition in the coming campaign.
They have not featured at that elite level since the 1982-83 season, the campaign after they won the European Cup.
The arrival of Onana has taken Villa’s summer spending to about £140m.
