Everton stance revealed by agent as Tottenham put Amadou Onana on shortlist
Tottenham have placed Everton midfielder Amadou Onana on their transfer shortlist for the summer, according to Paul O Keefe.
The football agent with close connections to the North London outfit, which is owned by a billionaire, has claimed that the Toffees would be open to selling the 22-year-old but would demand £60million for his services.
Barcelona are also understood to be keen on signing him and have made initial movies while Arsenal have been linked with the Belgium international as well.
O Keefe wrote on Twitter: "Spurs compiling a list to then shortlist and he's [Onana one. Long way to go on any. I'm told Everton will ask 60m."
Everton must spark a transfer bidding war for Onana
Onana attracts significant interest from top clubs such as Tottenham, Barcelona and Arsenal, positioning the Toffees to potentially spark a bidding war for the midfielder.
The club's willingness to entertain offers and their £60million valuation for Onana's services indicates a strategic move to capitalise on the interest from multiple clubs to maximise their financial gain.
Onana's value is bolstered by his age and quality.
At 22 years old, he is in the early stages of his career with ample room for growth and development.
His performances at Everton have been impressive, demonstrating his potential to become a key player in midfield for any top club.
His versatility and ability to play in various midfield roles add to his appeal.
The interest from clubs like Tottenham, Barcelona and Arsenal highlights Onana's quality and potential.
These clubs are known for their high standards in player recruitment and their pursuit of Onana underscores his value in the current market.
Given the intense competition for his signature, the Toffees may even look to increase their asking price to £65million, further leveraging the demand to secure the best possible deal.
