Everton transfer news including updates on Amadou Onana, Dele Alli and Jarrad Branthwaite plus the latest takeover news after Dan Friedkin was granted exclusivity to buy out Farhad Moshiri's shares
ECHO Everton correspondent Joe Thomas has provided an overview of the summer so far for the Blues and how the expected departure of Amadou Onana to Aston Villa fits in with the wider strategic approach. He writes: Everton’s squad continues to be transformed during a busy start to the summer that now looks set to see Amadou Onana depart.
His departure had long been anticipated on the provision that a club reached Everton’s valuation for the 22-year-old, which Villa has done. Should the final details be overcome, then the deal would mark the third sale of the summer - transfers that would have raised fees of around £71m without Sean Dyche losing a player from his preferred starting XI.
Onana would be the most significant move of the transfer window so far for Everton. The player has long been of interest to clubs fighting in Europe, with Arsenal among those to have tracked him for a considerable period. His best performance in Royal Blue was against Mikel Arteta’s men in the 1-0 win at Goodison Park that heralded the arrival of Dyche.
Onana was the talk of the away dressing room after an emphatic display and impressed at the Emirates in the final game of last season. Manchester United and Newcastle United were also among the clubs that monitored him towards the end of the last campaign as his future looked increasingly uncertain.
While few at Finch Farm doubt his talent and ability, there has been an acceptance that he is ambitious - the player having repeatedly spoken of his desire to test himself at the highest levels - and an acknowledgement that he is not integral to Sean Dyche’s approach.
