Read our privacy policy Aston Villa are closing in on a £50million deal for Everton midfielder Amadou Onana. Onana, who was in Belgium’s team for all their Euro 2024 matches, endured a difficult final couple of months of the season and started only two of the last six games – the final two fixtures of the campaign when top-flight status had already been secured. The defender has attracted a couple of bids, the last believed to be a deal worth £50m, but Everton are insistent they will not consider anything other than a “mega offer” for the 22-year-old, who received his first England call-up during his breakthrough season at Goodison Park, and value him around £70m.
