Arsenal battles Man u for everton midfielder.

Manchester United’s efforts to get Everton midfielder Amadou Onana in the January transfer window have been frustrated because Arsenal is a “more realistic” destination for the player.

Before the mid-season sales, the 22-year-old is starting to attract attention from across Europe thanks to his successful Merseyside campaign. Under Blues manager Sean Dyche, Onana has frequently been a shining star in the Everton engine room thanks to his strong consistency and frequently commanding displays.

When healthy, Onana is a regular member of the Toffees’ driving force, having missed four Premier League games due to injury this season. However, according to Dean Jones, Manchester United and Arsenal are among the teams interested in Onana’s move from Everton.

According to Jones, there is “slim” chance that Onana will leave Everton in January. The nine-cap Belgian, nevertheless, will find Arsenal “more realistic” than Manchester United if he decides to leave Goodison Park next month. However, the budget of the north London side also casts doubt on a relocation.

Mikel Arteta might not be able to pursue Onana in January because the Gunners are probably going to have restricted cash. However, reports about how the 6′ 4″ enforcer would fit into Arsenal’s current starting lineup, which is led by former Everton midfielder Arteta, indicate that the club is quite interested in acquiring him.

Arsenal is presently analyzing Onana’s potential fit at Emirates Stadium in light of Arteta’s desire to bring in a new midfield player. Manchester United values his potential additions at Old Trafford as well. However, Everton is still a strong contender to keep Onana through the summer at the very least.
