Everton are reportedly hopeful of signing Lille midfielder Amadou Onana ahead of West Ham United.

He fulfilled his dream to play in the Champions League, and was a mainstay in the PSG side during his first two seasons at the club. The ECHO recently reported how Frank Lampard has been seeking midfield reinforcements throughout the summer with a No.6 a priority. Reports from France, meanwhile, claim that Everton have tabled a €35m + €5m bid for the Belgium international.

Manchester City have loaned midfielder James McAtee to Championship side Sheffield United. The 19-year-old academy player has made a total of six first-team appearances at City, and has been capped by England at multiple youth levels.

The 6ft 5 in Belgium international possesses all of the attributes that West Ham currently lack. Meanwhile, he’s been labelled as an ‘incredible’ player by Total Football Analysis.

Lille's 20-year-old midfielder Amadou Onana wants to join Everton over West Ham United according to The Guardian's Fabrizio Romano.

The Lille midfielder would be a long-term asset at Goodison Park and is exactly the type of player Evertonians want to see the club going for. This is a pleasant surprise for Evertonians to see the club manage to draw a young talent from Europe to the project at Goodison Park. Onana looked destined to end up at West Ham United after the Hammers entered talks with the Lille over a possible move to the London Stadium.

Everton are attempting to beat West Ham United to the signing of giant Lille midfielder Amadou Onana.

That means that Everton need to start identifying a different kind of target. But it seems at some stage, Goodison Park chiefs are going to have to take a chance on a prospect like this after largely squandering huge sums of money on more established names who have flattered to deceive under Farhad Moshiri’s ambitious but chronically under-achieving tenure. It was a similar tale with another Portuguese League star in 2021 as the ECHO understands Everton tried to land Porto’s Luis Diaz, but with his compatriot James Rodriguez refusing to go back to his former club as part of the deal, they were hampered by Financial Fair Play restrictions and the winger subsequently moved to Anfield for £37.5million in January. Back in March, when giving his first interview as director of football, Kevin Thelwell outlined that the Blues need to be “very clear about what we recruit from this point on” so they could “build a team that’s a bit more consistent, a bit more stable and is also very clear about what their roles and responsibilities are on the pitch”. So what kind of attributes might Onana offer? Another central midfielder Matheus Nunes of Sporting CP claimed that Everton were interested in signing him last summer but “nothing happened”. Since then the 23-year-old has established himself as a regular in the Portugal team, earned rave reviews for his Champions League displays from Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola who described him as “one of the best players in the world right now” and if he does end up in the Premier League, clubs like Chelsea and Everton’s neighbours Liverpool are now reputedly in the mix with claims from Portugal this summer that the Blues were now out of the race. The Lille player, to give him his full title, is called Amadou Zeund Georges Ba Mvom Onana. It’s a big name for a big man as Onana is a towering presence at 6ft 5in, representing the kind of stature in the department that Everton have not possessed since his compatriot Fellaini, and he only joined his current employers from German second-tier outfit Hamburg 12 months ago.

Everton have joined the race to sign West Ham target Amadou Onana from Lille and have even gone as far as matching the Hammers' offer, according to reports.

Everton, on the other hand, need to spend for a starter and could end up getting Onana for themselves. In fact, it is claimed they have matched West Ham’s offer. Onana has been a major target for West Ham in recent months amid their need to evolve in midfield. According to the Daily Mail, Moyes’ former side are now making their own attempt to take Onana. However, the news came with the warning that personal terms were not close to being agreed. But with the money involved, it may be better for West Ham to find a cheaper backup – like they have with Downes – anyway.
