Everton’s Amadou Onana undergoes medical ahead of move to Aston Villa after failed Manchester United hijack

According to Sacha Tavolieri, Amadou Onana (22) has successfully undergone his medical ahead of his move to Aston Villa from Everton. The Belgian international is set to cost Villa a fee in the region of £45m after the Toffees accepted a proposal from their divisional rivals. The transfer is set to be announced on Monday.

With fees agreed between the two Premier League outfits, Onana has taken medical tests to become a new player for Aston Villa. The 22-year-old will look forward to playing Champions League football next season after the Birmingham club qualified for UEFA’s premier competition under the management of Unai Emery. The former Lille midfielder will sign a 5-year contract at Villa Park.

Failed hijack from Manchester United

Manchester United failed to hijack the pending move to Aston Villa, Tavolieri understands. United offered to match the proposals made by Villa to Everton in order to bring him to Old Trafford. However, Onana gave his word to Emery that he would join him at Villa Park next season.
