Tottenham Hotspur enquire about Inter Milan goalie Andre Onana
According to SempreInter, Tottenham Hotspur are actively searching for a new shot-stopper to fill the shoes of their long-standing captain, Hugo Lloris, and it seems they have set their sights on Inter Milan’s impressive goalkeeper, Andre Onana.
Throughout the season, the 27-year-old Cameroonian international has been an absolute standout for the Italian giants, catching the attention of Tottenham’s decision-makers. Onana’s commanding performances in the UEFA Champions League have been particularly eye-catching, leaving no doubt as to his abilities between the sticks.
Tottenham has now taken the first step in their pursuit of the talented shot-stopper, making an official enquiry regarding his availability. It is believed that Inter Milan value Andre Onana at around €50 million, a hefty price tag that will test Tottenham’s resolve and financial commitment to secure the player’s services.
André Onana is the first Inter goalkeeper to keep 7 clean sheets in a single Champions League campaign.

One cannot overlook the significance of Onana’s contribution to Inter Milan’s successful journey to the UEFA Champions League finals this season. His shot-stopping prowess and ability to command his penalty area have undoubtedly played a crucial role in his team’s progression throughout the tournament.
The need for a change in Tottenham’s goalkeeping department has become evident, with Hugo Lloris failing to live up to expectations this season. The Frenchman, although still contracted until the summer of 2024, has struggled to maintain consistency and establish himself as a reliable first-choice goalkeeper.
Given that Inter Milan acquired Onana on a free transfer, the potential sale for €50 million represents a substantial profit for the Italian side. However, it remains uncertain whether they are willing to part ways with the talented shot-stopper at a more reasonable price.
Inter Milan are apparently currently facing financial constraints, which could force them into making player sales this summer. In such circumstances, it is plausible that they might consider an offer from Tottenham if it aligns with their valuation of Onana.
For Onana himself, a move to Tottenham would mark an exciting new chapter in his career. Having showcased his exceptional abilities in Italy, the Premier League presents a new challenge and an opportunity to make his mark on English football.
