CHELSEA have received a big transfer boost in their pursuit of Everton star Amadou Onana.
The midfielder was on Chelsea's transfer wishlist in January.
And he has now revealed his ambition to play for one of the world's biggest teams after only joining Everton last summer.
He told SoFoot: "I see myself having had a lot of life experiences, which will have made me learn a lot about human beings in general, as well as about myself.
"I see myself, God willing, in one of the biggest clubs recognised worldwide."
Chelsea had planned a raid on Everton in January with Onana and Anthony Gordon targeted amid the club's financial fair play difficulties.
