Newcastle United Are Keen On Landing This Everton Midfielder: What Will He Bring To Tyneside?

Journalist Pete O’Rourke has stated that Newcastle United is interested in signing Everton midfielder Amadou Onana. The Belgian talent’s services are reportedly highly sought after by the Magpies for next summer.

 

Onana’s Outstanding Run of Form In Merseyside
Having been at the center of Sean Dyche’s midfield for a number of dominant games, Onana has had a good season at Goodison Park. In 24 games for the Toffees this season across all competitions, the Belgian sensation has two goals and one assist.

 

In Premier League football, the 22-year-old has been a respectable performer at the center of the park, averaging 2.6 tackles, 0.6 interceptions, 1.1 clearances, 1.1 shoots, and 0.6 crucial passes per game. After completing 84.2% of his passes on attempt in the English top division, he has even demonstrated accuracy when spreading ball from midfield (data via whoscored).

The current Everton deal for Onana expires in the summer of 2027. Therefore, if the Magpies hope to persuade the Toffees to give up their valuable asset later this year, they will need to make a substantial offer.

What Will Newcastle United Get From Onana?
In the middle of the park, Onana can make a few crucial interceptions for his team and is a good ball-tackler. When necessary, he moves quickly to clear the area, and he has long-range venomous ball shots. In the latter third, the Belgian talent can even provide an improbable opportunity for those in his vicinity. He must, however, figure out how to increase his output in front of the opponent’s goal.

Onana is a defensive midfielder by nature, but he can also play center back or from box to box if necessary. He’s only going to get better at 22 as he develops as a football player over the next few seasons. In light of this, Onana would ultimately be a fantastic acquisition for the Magpies.

The Belgium international would give Newcastle manager Eddie Howe’s midfield extra bite and strength. His skill level will make battle for spots in the Tyneside club’s matchday roster intensify. Howe should therefore make every effort to sign Onana throughout the summer.
