Aston Villa signed Belgium midfielder Amadou Onana from Everton in a deal price a reported £50 million ($64 million) on Monday. Onana agreed a five-year contract with Villa, who had been trying to find a substitute for Douglas Luiz after the Brazilian’s transfer to Juventus. The 22-year-old did not make an influence at Everton after arriving from Lille two years in the past. But, after that includes for Belgium at Euro 2024, Onana has been given the possibility to revive his Premier League profession by Villa boss Unai Emery.
“Aston Villa is delighted to announce the signing of Amadou Onana from Everton,” the membership mentioned on their web site.
Capped 17 occasions by Belgium, Onana made 72 appearances for Everton, scoring 4 objectives.
He joins Villa with the membership trying ahead to their first Champions League marketing campaign since 1983 after final season’s fourth-place end within the Premier League.
It has been a busy shut season for Emery, who had already signed Ross Barkley from Luton, Juventus duo Samuel Iling-Junior and Enzo Barrenechea, Sheffield United’s Cameron Archer, Ian Maatsen from Chelsea, former Hull winger Jaden Philogene and Everton’s Lewis Dobbin.
Both Villa and Everton have been juggling their squads in a bid to remain inside the Premier League’s revenue and sustainability guidelines.
