Onana’s Transfer and Role at Aston Villa
Amadou Onana moving from Everton to Aston Villa in July 2024 was huge for Villa. They paid like £50 million for him which shows they really wanted to make the team better. He’s played 10 times in the Premier League since he got there, being on the field for 547 minutes. He hasn’t scored or helped score any goals yet but he’s been really good at defending and doesn’t foul much or get red cards. People reckon he’s worth about €55 million now which shows what everyone thinks he can do.

Impact on Aston Villa’s Strategy
With Onana coming back early, Villa’s got some stuff to figure out but also some good chances. The medical team’s going to try get him fit quick for the next games. It also shows Villa’s got lots of good players like Morgan Rogers who’s doing really well.

While Onana’s getting better Villa’s trying to keep doing well in the Premier League.
