Rio Ferdinand claims Everton's new summer signing Amadou Onana can emulate ex-Blues and Manchester United star Marouane Fellaini... as he backs the £33m man to have a big impact at Goodison Park

Rio Ferdinand has compared Everton's new summer signing Amadou Onana to former attacking midfielder Marouane Fellaini.

The pundit made the comparison between Onana and the ex-Everton and Manchester United midfielder when speaking full time following Aston Villa's 2-1 win over Frank Lampard's side.

Onana was introduced from the bench and was a lively figure as the visitors attempted to pull off a late comeback at Villa park.
