Who is Amadou Onana? The towering Belgian to shore up Everton's midfield When Lille allowed Boubakary Soumare to leave for Leicester last summer, some may have been feared at how his sale would impact the team. Worst was the departure of Christophe Galtier, but even so; Soumare started 21 times in their title winning campaign. Yet Lille needn't have worried too much, wit...
