Everton signed Amadou Onana from Lille for a fee of £33 million in 2022.
Arsenal were said to be very keen to sign the midfielder before he moved to Goodison Park, but no move materialised at the time.
The Gunners’ interest in the 22-year-old is apparently still very strong. Journalist Sacha Tavolieri claimed recently that Mikel Arteta’s side are in talks with Everton to sign Onana this month.
What further fueled the rumours was that his agent was spotted in London this week.
David Ornstein was asked about Onana and Arsenal in his Q&A on The Athletic yesterday, and the journalist made one thing clear – there’s nothing going on between the two clubs right now.
Using just four words to answer the question, he said: “No talks between clubs.”
