Done deal! According to Fabrizio Romano, Everton overcame Fulham in the transfer fight for Brentford’s midfielder machine.

The Bees are receiving major interest from the continent and inside the Premier League for their midfielder.

Brentford are weighing up multiple approaches for midfielder Frank Onyeka but will not let him leave on loan to a Premier League rival.

Girona, who are part of Manchester City’s City Football Group, have joined Everton and Fulham in the race for the Nigeria international, who is currently away at the Africa Cup of Nations.

The 26-year-old could help boost Girona’s bid to shock Real Madrid and Barcelona and win their first ever LaLiga title.

Fulham and Everton are also interested, but Brentford are unwilling to help a domestic rival by allowing a cut-price loan deal while just six points above the relegation zone themselves.
