Everton midfielder Amadu Onana will wear Aston Villa uniform.

European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano reported on his personal SNS on the 14th (Korea time) that `Amadu Onana is moving to Aston Villa.' Romano even added the signature phrase 'Here we go!', meaning the imminent transfer, signaling that the transfer was virtually completed.

Romano's official offer was accepted for a transfer fee of £50 million (about KRW 89 billion), and Onana and Aston Villa will sign a five-year contract that is valid until 2029. 'The contract is expected to be signed after next week's medical examination,' it said.

Onana, a Hoffenheim Youth native, began to step on the professional stage in earnest with her transfer to Hamburg in 2020. Since then, Onana, who wore an Everton uniform in 2022 after going through Lille, has become a key player in Everton's midfield by jumping to the starting lineup. He also joined the Belgian national team and participated in Euro 2024.

Onana, who showed strength in strong pressure, forward dribbling, and competition based on her solid physicality at the back, was highly praised for her impressive performance against Arsenal, the favorite to win the English Premier League (EPL). Along with their performances, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Tottenham, and Manchester United are reportedly considering signing Onana ahead of this summer.



Aston Villa, which desperately needed to reinforce its midfield after moving to Juventus even Douglas Luiz after advancing to the European Champions League, quickly advanced their recruitment by investing in Onana, and eventually seems to have reached the final stage of recruiting Onana.

Meanwhile, Onana also drew a lot of attention this summer. He drew attention by declaring that he would kick Mbappe's shin.



Ahead of the Euro 2024 round of 16 match between Belgium and France on the 2nd, the Belgian national team posted a video provoking Mbappe. In the video, a Belgian comedian asked a sniping question to "Who will kick Kylian Mbappe's shin?" and Onana, who appeared in the video, shouted her name. The video was later deleted due to controversy, but Onana was imprinted by fans as a player to kick Mbappe's shin.



Onana, who received fans' attention for her performance at Everton and her popularity at the Euros, is on the verge of wearing an Aston Villa uniform. Whether he can show his skills at Everton in the European competition is expected to determine the success or failure of the recruitment.
