Everton told Amadou Onana's best qualities and where he is 'better' than Marouane Fellaini

Axel Witsel has had his say on Everton midfielder Amadou Onana and claimed that his international teammate is better than former Blue Marouane Fellaini in one specific quality.

The 21-year-old made the move to Merseyside from Lille in the summer and has wasted no time in becoming a mainstay in Frank Lamaprd's side in the early stages of the campaign. Alongside Alex Iwobi and Idrissa Gueye last time out, he was pivotal as Everton secured their first victory of the season against West Ham United before the international break.

The midfielder has also stepped up for his country over the course of the current break, building on his Belgium debut which came against the Netherlands in the summer. His latest match came against the same opponents, with the Blues star getting 75 minutes before being taken off.
