Arsenal have been put on red alert with target Amadou Onana ready to leave Everton after just one season on Merseyside.
The Gunners are hoping to boost their options in midfield after their Premier League title challenge ran out of steam in the campaign just gone. Boss Mikel Arteta's top target is Brighton star Moises Caicedo, though they are battling Manchester United and Chelsea for his signature.
The Blues appear to have moved into pole position in the race to sign him, having offered Conor Gallagher in exchange. That has led to Arteta turning to alternative targets, with Onana chief among them.
