Everton manager Frank Lampard has praised the qualities of Amadou Onana as the midfielder nears being confirmed as the club's latest signing.
The 20-year-old was at Goodison Park and witnessed his prospective new side be beaten 1-0 by Chelsea thanks to a Jorginho penalty late in the first half. The Lille star stopped to take many pictures with Evertonians as he made his way inside both at half time and after the final whistle.
At the time of writing the deal has not yet been announced by the Blues, but it is widely expected that he will become the club's fourth transfer of the summer following James Tarkowski, Ruben Vinagre and Dwight McNeil. And Lampard was already gushing over the midfielder's qualities, although he urged a little patience in the near future.
