Everton man on track for Aston Villa switch
Villa remain on course to complete the £50million record signing of Amadou Onana early next week.
The Belgium international midfielder is due to fly into Birmingham tomorrow to undergo a medical ahead of finalising his switch from Everton.
Onana will become Unai Emery’s seventh signing of what has already been a hectic summer window, after winger Jaden Philogene yesterday completed his return from Hull, for a fee of around £13m.
Reports in Belgium have claimed Manchester United showed late interest in Onana, who has made 63 Premier League appearances for the Toffees over the past two seasons.
But the 22-year-old is set on joining Villa, who also remain in talks with Al-Ittihad over the sale of their current record signing, Moussa Diaby.
