Everton Reveal: What Sean Dyche has told Amadou Onana amid Goodison exit speculation

Everton manager Sean Dyche will be telling Amadou Onana to focus on saving the club from relegation this season.That is according to former Toffees scout Bryan King after it emerged that Chelsea have opened talks with Everton over a move for the midfielder.

Onana chose to stay at Goodison last month after crunch talks with his agent, with King believing the Toffees are not considering a deal with Chelsea.

Speaking to Goodison News, King said: “I don’t know whether they are considering those options to be honest. I think at the moment what Sean Dyche’s main point to the players who are involved in the relegation fight is that ‘we’re concentrating on one thing, the next game, we need to get results.’

“It’s always going to be paper talk about the good young players and the way they’re performing, always speculation.

“But what Dyche must ensure is that this does not affect performances, and I would imagine that players who are being talked about in transfer terms have been told this in not too many words, I can tell you.“‘There is enough to worry about without you going somewhere else. Read about it, look at it, get on with the job in hand.’”

It is very true that exit-linked players such as Onana do not get distracted by transfer talk, with the Toffees currently heavily involved in a relegation battle.

The midfielder has performed admirably for the Merseyside outfit since joining, and Dyche cannot have too many complaints thus far.But the man in the dugout will be furious if the paper talk gets to the player’s head at this crucial stage of the season.
