Amadou Onana has already matched his best Premier League scoring season for Everton by getting the opening goal in each of Aston Villa’s two wins so far. He has the chance to make it three against his former club at Villa Park on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Onana’s \u00a350m summer switch was an intriguing one. Sean Dyche called it “a business decision” due to Everton’s financial situation. But for Villa to break their transfer record suggested they saw much more in him than he had shown at Goodison Park.<\/p>\n
Former Everton player Michael Ball summed up the mood among Everton supporters when describing the move as an example of the “wrong team at the wrong time” – even claiming Tim Iroegbunam, signed from Villa, has already shown more than Onana did.<\/p>\n

Onana has left the team that played the most long balls in the Premier League last season for one that played among the fewest, only 25 more than short-passing experts Manchester City.<\/p>\nWhile away with Belgium, he said: “Here we play more on possession. You usually stay on the ball a lot longer. Sean Dyche wanted to see more direct football. Long balls. A lot of second balls. In the national team, I get the ball more. It suits me a little bit better.”<\/p>\nOnana’s pass-completion rate of 93.3 per cent with Villa is up from 84.9 per cent. It is a crude statistic, early days indeed, but it hints at his ability to keep possession, and while his goals have attracted attention, he has shown he can take care of the ball.<\/p>\nPotential to partner Kamara<\/h3>\nEmery does not see Onana as a direct replacement for Brazil international Douglas Luiz, who has left for Juventus. “We added two players with the similar characteristics to Douglas,” he says. “Youri Tielemans last year and Ross Barkley this year.”<\/p>\nInstead, he argues that Onana has “more or less similar characteristics” to Boubacar Kamara, the fan-favourite midfielder currently out through injury. “We want two similar players in each position or players with the versatility to play different positions.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\nOnana can do both because Emery insists that the two could also line up alongside each other. “They can play together, Kamara and Onana. If we were thinking he could not play with Kamara, maybe it would not have been very easy to sign him,” he explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n <\/div>\n Image:<\/span>\n Amadou Onana scored the opening goal in Aston Villa’s win over Leicester\n <\/span>\n <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n“But we are thinking with Kamara, with Ama, with Barkley and with Tielemans, they can play [in any combination of] two players or we could even play with three of them together in our structure that we have.

Victory against Onana’s former club on Saturday evening, a first of the season in front of their own supporters at Villa Park, would be sure to move Emery’s side back into the top four.<\/p>\nThe style of the two teams may be different but Dyche has Emery’s respect. “Last year, they came here to play in the Carabao Cup and they beat us.

Onana can do both because Emery insists that the two could also line up alongside each other. “They can play together, Kamara and Onana. If we were thinking he could not play with Kamara, maybe it would not have been very easy to sign him,” he explains.<\/p>\n
“But we are thinking with Kamara, with Ama, with Barkley and with Tielemans, they can play [in any combination of] two players or we could even play with three of them together in our structure that we have. Of course, we signed Enzo Barrenechea as well.<\/p>\n
“He is a young player who could develop well himself, improving and becoming important for us. We decided to let him to go on loan and in the future we want to add him and for him to join us, playing in our structure as well as an important player.”<\/p>\n
Enzo Barrenchea is a 23-year-old Argentine midfielder signed from Juventus this summer and then loaned out to Valencia<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
