Arsenal could offer Everton four players in transfer swap for Amadou Onana

Arsenal are looking to strengthen Mikel Arteta’s midfield further this summer with the addition of Amadou Onana. The Everton combative midfielder has taken Premier League football in his stride and the Liverpool Echo claim that contact was made between the two clubs on the opening day of the transfer window for the Belgian.

However, the Toffees are set to demand a fee in the region of £50million to part ways with the 22-year-old. Everton’s need to sell may even be reduced if Manchester United meet the £70m valuation for Jarrad Branthwaite, but if Arsenal do want to try and bring the price down for Onana, Express Sport has taken a look at four players who could be sent in the opposite direction.

Eddie Nketiah

Eddie Nketiah’s time at the Emirates could be set to come to an end this summer, with Arsenal eyeing another forward signing to compete with the English striker, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus.

Nketiah is thought to be available for a fee in the region of £30m, with a host of interested parties from within the Premier League, including Everton.

There have been whispers of Dominic Calvert-Lewin leaving Goodison Park and should Sean Dyche’s side be on the lookout for another striker, Nketiah being involved in a deal for Onana could be a win-win for all parties.

Albert Sambi Lokonga

Albert Sambi Lokonga has returned to Arsenal following an impressive season on loan at Luton, forming a strong partnership with Ross Barkley on occasion, despite the Terriers’ relegation.

If Onana does make the move to north London, Everton would likely want another body in midfield and with Lokonga deemed surplus to requirements, could fill the void left by his Belgian compatriot.
