Everton have made a late swoop to secure the signing of Lille star Amadou Onana, after the midfielder looked set to join West Ham United.
The ECHO understands that the Blues have matched the bid made by the London club, which could rise to around £33.5m including various add-ons over the course of the deal. Various reports on Wednesday evening claimed that Frank Lampard's side were growing in confidence that the 20-year-old would choose a move to Goodison Park over the London Stadium.
Everton have been on the search for new midfield options over the course of the summer transfer window and have been strongly linked with a separate move to bring Idrissa Gueye back to Merseyside after three years spent at Paris Saint-Germain.
