Revamping Everton’s midfield has been a priority all summer and a Belgian man mountain who revives memories of Marouane Fellaini has become the latest name linked with the Blues in this department. Frank Lampard hinted to reporters at the end of last season that beefing up his engine room and adding fresh blood to the backline were the areas at the top of his shopping list.
And with the latter area having already been filled by the confirmation of James Tarkowski’s free transfer last weekend after his contract at Burnley officially expired, identifying targets in the centre of the park have become a priority although Richarlison’s £60million switch to Tottenham Hotspur will also leave a huge hole in the squad that needs replacing.
In terms of the midfield, Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri has thrown Amadou Onana into the mix, or to give him his full title, Amadou Zeund Georges Ba Mvom Onana. A big name for a big man as Onana is a towering presence at 6ft 5in, representing the kind of stature in the department that Everton have not possessed since his compatriot Fellaini.
