Everton have reportedly placed a £70million price tag on Amadou Onana amid interest from Arsenal and Chelsea.
The Premier League duo were linked with a move for Onana during the January transfer window, though the Blues' only big-name departure was Anthony Gordon's Newcastle switch.
Clubs could again come calling for the Belgian this summer, however, as he continues to impress in midfielder for Sean Dyche's side. The 21-year-old has featured in all but one of Everton's league fixtures and has been a standout performer over a number of months.

Addressing the state of play as regards the long-term future of the former Lille man, Football Insider have stated Arsenal and Chelsea are 'weighing up bids' ahead of the summer but have a shortlist featuring multiple midfield targets. The article adds both clubs are 'cautious' of Everton's £70m valuation, which 'could be slashed considerably' should the Toffees suffer relegation to the second tier.
Speaking last month to French publication SO FOOT, Onana opened up on his five-year plan within the game. He said: "I see myself having had a lot of life experiences, which will have made me learn a lot about human beings in general, as well as about myself. I see myself, God willing, in one of the biggest clubs recognised worldwide."
