BREAKING NEWS: Live from the Emirates, Arteta and Arsenal make contact as the team looks to recruit Premier League midfield dynamo as a replacement for Party. Arsenal are creating headlines in the transfer market, with talks underway to recruit a £50 million “monster” midfielder dubbed “complete.” This powerhouse might mean the end for Thomas Partey, changing Arsenal’s midfield with his powerful presence. With better statistics and unquestionable quality, Arsenal’s possible signing represents a bold effort to strengthen their roster. Arsenal is now in talks to sign a “complete” £50 million “monster” who might spell the end for Partey.

This season, Arsenal made a bold statement to their Premier League rivals, demonstrating their strength and resilience. After a dramatic collapse in their previous championship run, Mikel Arteta’s squad rebounded, pushing Manchester City to the brink.

Though they fell short once more, the team exhibited marked improvement across the board. However, Thomas Partey, one of last season’s standout performers, saw limited action in the 2023-24 season.

Reports indicate that Arsenal is seeking a replacement for Partey. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, through GIVEMESPORT, reports that Arsenal has reached out to inquire about Amadou Onana, Everton’s standout midfielder.

While no formal agreement has been reached, Arsenal’s interest in the Belgian international suggests urgency, as Onana is coveted by several English clubs. According to a May report from Football Insider, Onana could be available for around £50 million, as Everton aims to comply with PSR regulations.

Given Partey’s reduced influence and Onana’s impressive displays, Edu Gaspar and his team are encouraged to pursue the Everton star. Comparing their recent performances sheds light on their respective styles and contributions.

Onana, praised as a “monster” in midfield by talent scout Jacek Kulig, shows promise in several statistical categories:

– Expected Non-Penalty Goals + Assists: Onana (0.20), Partey (0.14)

– Progressive Passes: Onana (4.61), Partey (8.37)

– Progressive Carries: Onana (0.91), Partey (1.23)

– Passes Received: Onana (1.68), Partey (1.27)

– Shots: Onana (1.25), Partey (1.01)

– Shots on Target: Onana (0.26), Partey (0.14)

– Passing Accuracy: Onana (84.1%), Partey (87.2%)

– Tackles: Onana (3.06), Partey (2.54)

– Tackles Won: Onana (1.64), Partey (1.45)

– Blocks: Onana (1.08), Partey (0.94)

– Clearances: Onana (1.34), Partey (1.49)

– Errors Leading to Shots: Onana (0.00), Partey (0.04)

– Miscontrols: Onana (0.86), Partey (1.20)

– Times Dispossessed: Onana (0.43), Partey (0.69)

– Ball Recoveries: Onana (6.90), Partey (8.19)

– Aerial Duels Won: Onana (2.24), Partey (1.34)

Onana excels in most defensive metrics, including tackles, blocks, and aerial duels, and has fewer errors and dispossessions compared to Partey.

His reliability is another significant factor; since the 2020-21 season, Onana has missed only 11 games, while Partey has missed 72, averaging 18 missed games per season.

While Partey’s talent is undeniable, Arsenal would benefit from prioritizing Onana’s signing due to his superior defensive statistics, youth, and consistent availability.
