Everton midfielder Amadou Onana is looking increasingly likely to be a part of Belgium’s World Cup squad after being the ‘bright spot’ during the last international break.
That’s according to Sport/Foot Magazine, who cover the Everton star today and believe he is now a shoo-in for the World Cup in Qatar.
Onana joined Everton in a £31.5m deal from Lille in the summer and has been starring in the Blues midfield ever since with a series of impressive displays.
He sat out the 2-1 win over Wales but managed 75 minutes in the 1-0 defeat to the Netherlands three days later.
His display in that game earned him a wave of rave reviews in his homeland, including from Belgium boss Roberto Martinez, and now Sport/Foot Magazine have joined in the chorus.
“There is less division over Amadou Onana. There, too, I am in the large group of optimists,” their journalist writes.
“Big, powerful, a huge radius of action and good feet. The bright spot during less clear days.
“We forgive RSCA and Zulte Waregem – because not every youthful talent is a certainty – and we understand Everton, the team that brought Amadou to England for €40m.”
