Agent claims Amadou Onana, linked to Arsenal, turned down a January deal to leave Everton

According to the report from standard.co, Everton midfielder Amadou Onana rejected the opportunity to move away from the club in January, his agent has revealed.

Arsenal were linked with the £51million-rated Belgian, who has also been tipped to draw interest from Chelsea, Newcastle, Manchester United and Barcelona. But a transfer failed to come off last month and the player’s agent and sister, Melissa Onana, has detailed why.

“We could have left this winter,” she told the Noya Dur YouTube show, via Sport Witness. “But we once again sat down and asked the question whether it’s the right time, if the player is ready. My job is to put opportunities on the table.

Relegation-threatened Everton are reportedly prepared to cash in on Onana this summer amid their ongoing financial difficulties.

“I’m lucky that my brother is intelligent,” his agent added. “Which isn’t the case for all players. “So I give him the pros and the cons of a situation that’s on the table. We talk about it, he asks me my opinion, and I say, ‘This is what I think’. Then, he makes his choice.
