Aston Villa have today confirmed the signing of Amadou Onana from Everton.
The Belgian has been heavily linked with a move away from the Toffees in recent months, with Villa winning the race to secure the youngster's services.
"Aston Villa is delighted to announce the signing of Amadou Onana from Everton," a statement read on the club's official website.
"A deep-lying midfielder adept at breaking up play and winning back possession, Onana links up with Villa having recently represented Belgium at UEFA Euro 2024.
"The 22-year-old took his first steps in professional football with Hamburger SV in Germany before spending a year at LOSC Lille in Ligue 1.
"Onana would then join Everton in the summer of 2022, going on to make over 70 appearances for the Toffees, scoring three times last term.
"On the international stage, he has been capped 17 times by his country."
