Just In: Arsenal is in contact with premier league club to discuss a deal for midfielder and they’re considering a €60 million bid

Arsenal are considering signing Everton midfielder Amadou Onana, football.london has learned. The Toffees are expecting £50m for the Belgian international, although a sale could come in the coming weeks due to his precarious financial situation.

This comes at a time when the Gunners are looking to strengthen their ranks for the second half of the Premier League campaign as they qualify for the title race. Mikel Arteta’s team has experienced some poor form, with just one win in seven games in all competitions.

This raises questions about the options available to the manager and the transfer window has become a beacon of hope. “I ask the fans to support the team as they have done in difficult moments,” said Mikel Arteta when asked about transfers.

“Get behind the ones we have. They are incredibly good. If not, they won’t do what they did today and at Anfield. Stick with them. That’s exactly what they need. That’s when they feel important and supported. They deserve nothing else with their attitude. That’s my opinion.”

This suggests that there is not much room for business over the next month, especially for those looking to add a striker. football.london understands that the Gunners are scouring the loan market for potential signings that could offer some temporary support.

It remains to be seen if they can find players who can make a difference and take them over the line in the hunt for the Premier League title. However, it seems that there are other priority positions besides the attacking and defensive positions.

Journalist Sacha Tavolieri reports that Arsenal have started “intensive” talks with Everton to try and sign Onana in the coming weeks. However, the Belgian international is not only attracting attention from the Gunners, as Manchester United are also reported to be among the teams keen to do a deal.

A signing of the Toffees star could mean a major change in midfield for the North London team, which has yet to happen. Onana could be an ideal partner for Declan Rice and push him higher up the pitch and could change the role of Kai Havertz, which would have a different impact.

Whether this move is feasible for Arsenal is not yet clear, but it could make a big difference to winning the title.
