Arsenal have been handed a huge boost in the race to sign Everton star Amadou Onana. The 21-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from Everton following the sacking of Frank Lampard.
With Chelsea in the market for a midfielder, the Blues were said to be contemplating 'whether or not to try and take advantage' of the ensuing crisis at Goodison Park. But, it's transpired that the Gunners are just as keen to secure the Belgium international's signature this month as Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his side ahead of a Premier League title charge.
Onana has featured 18 times for the Toffees this season, directly contributing towards two goals. His impressive displays have rightfully attracted the interest of Europe's top clubs and, with Everton in a relegation battle, the Merseyside club could be inclined to cash in on the Belgian.
