Aston Villa have bolstered their Champions League ambitions with the mega-money signing of midfielder Amadou Onana from Everton for a staggering £50 million.
The 22-year-old Belgian powerhouse is a proven talent, having featured in every minute of Belgium’s Euro 2024 campaign. He adds steel and skill to Villa’s midfield, offering valuable experience at the highest level.
Onana joins Villa after an impressive stint at Everton, where he racked up 72 appearances and contributed four goals following his £33 million move from Lille in 2022. Previously linked with Arsenal, Onana attracted interest from several top clubs this summer.
Villa manager Unai Emery has actively addressed the midfield void left by Douglas Luiz’s £42.35 million sale to Juventus in June. Onana’s arrival signifies Villa’s intent to compete at the highest level in their Champions League return, their first since the triumphant 1982-83 season.
This marquee signing brings Villa’s summer spending spree to a staggering £140 million, underlining their commitment to challenging for trophies on multiple fronts. Expect more developments as Villa gear up for an exciting season.
