Everton is prepared to cash in on Amadou Onana, but the Toffees have no plans to sell him cheaply amidst interest from Arsenal.
The midfielder only joined them in the summer, but he has become one of their best players in this campaign.
As early as January, several clubs wanted to add him to their squad, but the boyhood Everton fan did not think about leaving Goodison Park and stayed to help them in their relegation dogfight.
In the summer, regardless of their Premier League status, he is expected to change clubs and Arsenal wants to be his next team.
However, Everton will demand at least £70 million to allow him to change clubs, according to Football Insider.
They believe he is a top player and anyone looking to add him to their squad must be willing to pay top dollar.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Onana has been one of the finest midfielders in the league and the Belgian will be a superb signing for us.
We do not have a combative midfielder who play box-to-box as he does and his arrival will be an upgrade to our options.
However, parting with £70 million to add him to our squad might seem too much.

Worth the money in my opinion. Been a real boss in a team struggling against relegation. He has versatility, good technique, and plenty young enough to improve even further.
I would be very happy with Onana coming in as cover in the midfield for either Partey or Xhaka. Possibly the heir apparent to Partey in the midfield.
Onana is what you terms powerful player, not necessarily Pep Guardiola and the gaffer ideal player.
He’s also a mobile midfielder who’s the fastest developing player have seen in the entire European football.
Not sure we can go wrong with the youngster, but the gaffer would most likely opt for the Caicedo kid, Zubimendi and Lacottelli
So much talk as to who we should sign and I say save our money and stick with the developing squad we already have. I would bring Balogun back as we still need an efficient finisher, but with Smith-Rowe and Jesus coming back from injury, signing any more players would land us in a Chelsea situation with too many talented players to give game time to
