Amadou Onana, born on 16 August 2001 (age 24), is a Belgian defensive midfielder with Aston Villa. An imposing 6ft 4in (1.94m), he wears No 24 and is valued at around £47m by Transfermarkt.
His most productive league season came in 2024-2025, when he scored three times in 26 league appearances for Villa. That is not a huge return, but it is a decent enough reminder that his game is not confined to standing in front of the centre-halves and making the place look tidy.
In 2025-2026 he remains a regular first-team presence. He has made 25 Premier League appearances, scoring twice, alongside one FA Cup outing and 12 in the Europa League. Across all competitions for Aston Villa this season, he has 38 appearances and two goals.
Onana has also stayed involved with Belgium, with one World Cup appearance and five European qualifying appearances this season. His current career is centred on being a regular for Aston Villa and an active member of the Belgian squad.
