Everton boss Sean Dyche breaks silence on Amadou Onana future amid Arsenal transfer links.

Reports linking midfielder Amadou Onana to Arsenal have caused Everton manager Sean Dyche to say that he has not ruled out players departing during the transfer season.

Despite reports linking Amadou Onana to Arsenal, Everton manager Sean Dyche has not ruled out the idea of players departing during the transfer season. However, he maintains that it is not part of his present plans. Profit and sustainability laws have caused the club to struggle financially over the last 18 months; last season, they resulted in a 10-point deduction for breaking these standards.

Six months after Richardson was sold to Tottenham for £60 million, they sold Anthony Gordon to Newcastle for £45 million in January of last year. In order to balance the roster, other players including Niels Nkounkou, Tom Cannon, Demarai Gray, and Alex Iwobi were also sold in the summer.

With the January transfer window open there are rumors linking midfielder Onana with Arsenal, while Lyon are reportedly interested in on-loan Villarreal forward Arnaut Danjuma, who hasn’t had much game time. Everton’s squad isn’t large, and any further reductions could be harmful, but Dyche can’t rule out departures completely.

He said: “We are in a position to do the best we can with the team we have got but we are in the position where if the right deal came along…” He added: “But you’ve seen how quiet it is in January and we are certainly not thinking of players going out of the building.”

Before his team’s match against Aston Villa, Dyche shot down the rumors surrounding Danjuma, who recently shared a photo of himself in a private jet. “The situation is very simple; he’s an Everton player. He’s still here, he played in the last game, and he has a fair chance of playing in the next one too,” Dyche said.

“There isn’t really a story. He’s an Everton player and he will be part of what we do.” “He’s said nothing other than he wants to work hard and play. We need everyone. We’ve been stretched in many ways.” In reference to Onana, Dyche said, “He’s been heavily linked before I was here and after. It’s just another story. He’s an Everton player so any decision that.
