Newcastle United are reportedly lining up a summer move for a dynamic Premier League star, as they look to bolster their squad ahead of next season.

The Magpies have been linked with a host of players in recent months, but it is understood that they have now identified their top target for the summer transfer window.

According to The Telegraph, Newcastle are keen on signing Everton midfielder Amadou Onana, who has impressed with his performances for the Toffees this season.

Onana has made 17 appearances for Everton in the Premier League this season, and has scored one goal and provided two assists.

The 21-year-old is a box-to-box midfielder who is known for his energy, tackling ability and passing range.

He is also a good dribbler and has the ability to create chances for his teammates.

Onana's performances for Everton have not gone unnoticed, and he has been linked with a move to a number of top clubs in recent months.

However, it is understood that Newcastle are now the frontrunners for his signature.

The Magpies are believed to be prepared to offer a significant fee for Onana, who is under contract at Everton until 2027.

If Newcastle are successful in signing Onana, he would be a major coup for the club.

He is a young player with a lot of potential, and he would add some much-needed quality to Newcastle's midfield.
