To strengthen their midfield dominance and prepare for the likely departure of Thomas Partey, Arsenal has turned its attention to one of the Premier League’s brightest emerging stars. Live Cricket BPL reports that the Gunners are targeting 22-year-old Belgian talent Amadou Onana, currently playing for Everton. Onana has quickly risen through the ranks to become one of Belgium’s most promising young midfielders.
Standing at 192cm and weighing 76kg, Onana combines impressive physicality with excellent technical skills. According to Live Cricket BPL data, he is a modern holding midfielder who excels in both defensive and offensive duties. Onana’s reading of the game is exceptional, and he consistently delivers in interception, ball recovery, and forward progression. At just 22, his all-around abilities mark him as a future midfield general with sky-high potential.
In the past two seasons, Onana has not only excelled in breaking up opposition plays but also chipped in with four goals and three assists for Everton. He has also delivered countless key passes, making him one of the most complete midfielders in his age group. Arsenal sees him as the ideal successor to Partey and is eager to complete the transfer as soon as possible.
Everton, for their part, are open to the move—but only at the right price. The Merseyside club has set a £50 million asking price, which Arsenal considers steep. The club’s board is now weighing the benefits against the cost, knowing that the deal could significantly bolster their squad.
However, time is of the essence. Besides Arsenal, several European giants—Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, and Barcelona—are all monitoring Onana closely. If the Gunners hesitate for too long, they risk losing him to another club in what is shaping up to be a fierce bidding war. Swift decision-making will be crucial if Arsenal wants to secure this midfield gem.
Meanwhile, Arsenal is also on the verge of finalizing another high-profile signing. According to reports, Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is close to joining the Gunners. Both clubs have reportedly agreed on the transfer fee, with final negotiations now focused on personal terms and medical procedures.
Osimhen, 25, is a prolific Nigerian forward who has attracted major interest across Europe following his outstanding performances for Napoli. He was recently nominated for African Footballer of the Year, further confirming his growing reputation. As Live Cricket BPL notes, Arsenal is pushing hard in the transfer market after falling short last season and is determined to strengthen its roster significantly this summer.
Osimhen’s arrival would mark a major boost to Arsenal’s attacking options. Napoli’s willingness to sell may stem from the striker’s expiring contract and their desire to avoid losing him on a free transfer. Arsenal’s proactive approach and negotiation power appear to have tilted the deal in their favor. Final arrangements, including medical checks, contract duration, and salary terms, are reportedly close to completion.
