Why Newcastle are interested in Onana

For all the departures that have been touted this month at Newcastle, one of the potential incomings that has been mentioned is Everton midfielder Amadou Onana.
The 6ft 4in powerhouse would certainly fill the void left by Joelinton, who has been ruled out until May after successful surgery.
The energy and sheer dominance that Joelinton provides in midfield needs to be accounted for, and Onana seems like the perfect acquisition for Eddie Howe's team.
The Senegal international has gone from strength to strength on Merseyside and combines his imposing stature with an eye for a pass and superb technique.
