Everton would demand a fee in excess of the £60million Chelsea are set to spend on Romeo Lavia in order to sell Andre Onana, according to reports.

The Liverpool Echo reports that Goodison Park chiefs value Onana higher than compatriot Lavia due to him being more established, with more than 100 senior games under his belt and having already captained his national side Belgium.
