Arsenal lining up January move for Belgian midfielder

Arsenal are keeping tabs on the performances of Everton midfielder Amadou Onana ahead of a potential approach next month, according to Daily Mail.

The Gunners are likely to invest in the midfield department at the turn of the year and they are looking for a young player with Premier League experience.

Onana has been identified as a top target and it is claimed that Arsenal could launch a move as soon as the transfer window reopens.

The Belgium international has been on the Gunners' radar for some period of time. He was linked with a move last winter, but Everton refused to sell him.

Arsenal went on to invest big on Declan Rice and Kai Havertz last summer, but they plan to return for Onana amid Thomas Partey's injury woes.

Everton are in a much better position in the league compared to last term and they could be persuaded to sell him for around £50 million.
