Onana's Football Journey


Born in Dakar, Senegal, Onana moved to Belgium at the age of 11 and began his football career with Anderlecht, RWS Bruxelles, and Zulte Waregem. He joined German club Hoffenheim in 2018 and later played for Hamburg and Lille, making an instant impact with 42 appearances in his debut season.


International Career


Onana has been capped at various youth levels for Belgium and earned his first senior international cap against the Netherlands in June 2022. He has since made 17 appearances for the senior team.


Transfer Details


Onana signed for Everton on a five-year deal in August 2022 and made 63 appearances, scoring three goals and providing two assists. He joins Aston Villa for an undisclosed fee and will link up with his new teammates for the club's pre-season tour of the United States.


Why Onana Will be More Than an Enforcer for Villa
