The Gunners have been long-term admirers of the Belgium international and they tried to sign him at the start of last year.

Back then, the Toffees were reluctant to sanction his sale as they were in a relegation battle at the bottom of the table.

They find themselves in the same situation this term but they could be forced to sell Onana due to their financial crisis.

Amidst this, it is claimed that Arsenal have made a proposal to the Toffees and the midfielder is tempted to join the club.

A package of around £60 million will be required to sign him, but the Gunners could propose a loan with a buy clause.

The option to buy could be obligatory depending on certain conditions. Onana has no problems in agreeing personal terms.

Arsenal will be back in Premier League action against Crystal Palace on January 20. It is a must-win game in the title race.
