Exclusive: Ex-Everton Scout accuses Amadou Onana agent of fabrication as Arsenal and Barcelona transfer speculation emerges
Bryan King believes Everton midfielder Amadou Onana will not be making a move to Premier League rivals Arsenal.
According to the Daily Mail (18 December), the Gunners are watching the Toffees man “closely” as Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his midfield. The publication added that the Gunners are planning for life without Thomas Partey, whose contract expires in 18 months.
The report also states that Barcelona are keeping a keen eye on the midfielder ahead of a possible move
When asked if he can see Onana moving to the Emirates, King told Goodison News: “No. He’s not an Arsenal player. I just think it’s an agent putting stories in the paper.
“Why would Arsenal be looking at him with what they’ve got? I can that this is coming from the agency or somebody looking to put a story in the paper.
“One Everton player who went to Arsenal was Arteta. He was a quality midfield player, and he improved Arsenal at the time. But I don’t think there is anyone at Everton that would improve Arsenal to be honest.”
Sean Dyche has been working wonders at Goodison Park in recent times, with his players putting in determined displays as they look to climb back up the Premier League table.
