Player ‘absolutely wants to leave’ Everton – ‘No longer on same wavelength’ as Toffees

Amadou Onana finished his debut season at Everton with a goal and two assists from 35 games.

The midfielder was part of the Toffees’ squad that successfully avoided relegation on the last day of the season.

Despite Everton’s struggles, Le Soir state the 21-year-old’s form has caught the attention of ‘several English clubs’. The details of these sides aren’t mentioned.

It’s claimed the Belgium international’s future could be away from the Merseyside club as he ‘absolutely wants to leave’ them in this window.

Le Soir say the player believes he’s ‘no longer completely on the same wavelength’ as Everton, who have an urgent need for cash. With clubs interested in him, the report adds there’s no doubt there will be some movements in this case in the coming weeks.

Over at Gazet van Antwerpen, they say both Arsenal and Chelsea have Onana ‘on their wish list’.

Having requested €55m for him in the winter market, it remains to be seen if Everton will ‘stick to these high demands’ in this window.

Genuine moves made by interested clubs will be key, and the Toffees will hope they can engineer some sort of auction.
