In just 22 years Everton’s Amadou Onana has already lived in five countries. Born in Dakar, Senegal, the midfielder moved to Belgium aged 11 with his mother and sister to join his father in Brussels.
Football was a motivating factor in upping sticks and Onana began his path to a professional career when he began a teenage growth spurt that would take him up to six foot, four inches. He was soon scouted for Anderlecht, and later competed with RWS Bruxelles, Zulte Waregem and 1899 Hoffenheim as a youth player.
