TEAMtalk has reported that Chelsea is the most likely club in England to make a bid for Everton’s 22-year-old Amadou Onana this summer. The towering defensive midfielder has caught the eye of several big clubs, including Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Tottenham. However, Chelsea is reportedly showing the firmest interest. Everton is expected to demand £80 million for Onana, and if a deal goes through, Lille will receive 20% of the fee due to a sell-on clause. Barcelona has also been mentioned as a potential rival for his signature. With significant recent investments in Chelsea’s midfield, there are questions about whether it is worth splashing out £80m for Onana at this time. Many are urging the club to invest in a prolific striker instead of further midfield reinforcements.
