Everton got a good replacement for Amadou Onana.
Everton’s transfer activities will undoubtedly come under even more scrutiny now that the Premier League has successfully reprimanded the Merseyside club.
They witnessed their dream come true, and now the Toffees have lost ten crucial points, severely undermining their hopes of securing premier league safety.
This idea is further reinforced by the “fresh scrutiny” that is expected to be given to the most recent accounts, as more and more eyes are expected to be on them.
Thus, in order to reap the benefits of a sale without making more investments, they may need to promote from within if they are compelled to sell a star guy, as some reports have indicated.
Luckily, they have a comparable profile in Amadou Onana, who is just waiting to be unleashed in his role. This might potentially open up more opportunity for other players to join the engine room.
James Garner, after all, claims to possess the same technical skill set despite undoubtedly having smaller size.
The Belgian maestro’s unique combination of 6’4″ stature and exceptional possession is what sets him apart. It is quite effective and distinct.
Despite being 6 feet 1 inch tall, the Manchester United academy product works extremely hard to compensate for his diminutive stature, which may help him succeed in Onana’s deeper role.
Given that he is on the former LOSC Lille star’s list of “similar players,” FBref is certain that the £15 million enforcer has what it takes to fill that role.
Given how both have performed exceptionally well in the Premier League this year, highlighting the parallels is simple.
According to Sofascore, Onana, who has made 11 appearances, has maintained an 85% pass accuracy rate in addition to 2.5 tackles, 0.7 crucial passes, and 6.5 ball recoveries per contest.
The guy who could replace him, however, has only managed two goals and an 80% pass accuracy while being given more attacking danger and a higher chance of losing the ball.
According to Sofascore, he also has excellent underlying stats, averaging 1.1 critical passes, 2.6 tackles, and 4.6 ball recoveries per game.
With Statman After a standout loan stint with Nottingham Forest, Dave already hinted that the “boy is special,” and Garner’s consistently strong performances in Royal Blue are further increasing his worth.
If Everton is forced to sell Onana, Sean Dyche may rest easy knowing he has a ready-made successor for the position.
