Thomas Partey’s injury problems have been a thorn in Arteta’s side this season, so much so that
Arsenal have been linked with the likes of Aston Villa star Douglas Luiz in the build up to January.

While sharing their own bit of detail on the potential transfer.
Indeed, According to news outlet Nieuwsblad, Arsenal are considering an official bid for Onana and Arteta is personally “very charmed” by him.

Given his pace, power, physicality and good feet.
They back that talks have opened over the 22-year-old, with Arsenal pushing for Onana’s signature and serious about bringing him in.
However, the Toffees are believe to be demanding around £52 million to let him go mid-season.
On around £100,000-per-week (SpotRac), Onana is a star player at Everton,
Having played 16 league games under Sean Dyche as a mainstay of his midfield.
