Arsenal Newsnow: As the month progresses, Arsenal may shift their focus to Amadou Onana and prepare to compete with Chelsea for the midfielder

Arsenal Newsnow: The Evening Standard reports that Arsenal and Chelsea are both interested in midfielder Amadou Onana. It’s possible that Mikel Arteta would try to take advantage of the current issue at Everton to sign a new midfielder before the January transfer window closes. This past summer, Everton made headlines by signing Belgian midfielder Amadou Onana for a reported £33 million. The young man, at just 21, had an immediate and significant influence. Since then, he and his club have struggled mightily in the Premier League. He has found himself in the bottom three.

Strong rumours of a transfer away from the club have surfaced in recent days. There is a potential he may leave before the current window closes. Unfortunately for Everton fans, the club is now in a precarious position in the standings and may become one of the league’s relegation favourites.

Arsenal Newnsow: What’s the matter?

To take advantage of their present situation, several major clubs are aiming for a few of their finest players. Already Tottenham has stolen Arnaut Danjuma from under their noses by sabotaging a play in the nick of time. The attacker had already undergone a medical examination with the Toffees. But Spurs raced in at the last minute to sign him.

Young striker Anthony Gordon is also reportedly close to signing with Newcastle United. Chelsea is also reportedly interested in signing him. Currently, Chelsea is showing interest in the midfielder Onana, who has surfaced as a potential exit. The Blues have looked all over the market for the players they want, but haven’t been able to sign anybody yet.

With Enzo Fernandez’s future uncertain, Brighton may keep Moises Caicedo. Perhaps Todd Boehly diverted focus away from himself and onto Onana. Reportedly, he is willing to spend whatever it takes to make sure Everton makes a return on their investment.

What’s next for the Gunners?

Arsenal, who are also looking to add to their midfield, might complicate Chelsea’s pursuit of the 21-year-old Premier League star. Mikel Arteta would want to see a new midfielder join the team to help bolster the current one. The Spanish man’s major goal is to give Thomas Partey some new competition.

What a night, I love this team! All glory to God as always, let’s keep pushing. 🙏🏾❤️ @Arsenal #COYG pic.twitter.com/lITWEes4KW

There is a risk that Arsenal may lose the Premier League fight if they must replace the injured Ghanaian midfielder. They want to make signing Declan Rice a top priority this summer. As a result, Arteta may have been willing to make a loan switch at this time. However, the Gunners may make a move for the 21-year-old Onana given his possible availability.

Due to the high asking price and Chelsea’s participation, this will seem to be a challenging undertaking. To add insult to injury, Everton may choose to retain the player as they find themselves in another relegation battle.
