Chelsea are reportedly set to meet Inter Milan to discuss the possibility of signing Andre Onana, who Tottenham are also interested in according to reports.
The Evening Standard claim that the Blues will meet with the UEFA Champions League semi-finalists to talk over a number of issues, with Romelu Lukaku’s loan spell and future this summer set to be the main topic of discussion, though Onana is also on the agenda.
The Cameroonian international is emerging as a key target for Chelsea as the west London side look to overhaul their goalkeeping options with an outright number one, yet Todd Boehly and his team face competition from Tottenham.
90min recently reported that the north London side have already told Inter that they’re willing to sign the 27-year-old this summer, with the Nerazzurri open to selling Onana if an offer of €40m (£35m) is made for the former Ajax superstar.
Indeed, Tottenham arguably need a new goalkeeper more than Chelsea given Hugo Lloris’ form this year, yet with the Blues again making their move quickly, the north London side could be left empty-handed in their attempt to bring Onana to the Premier League.
Tottenham have to match Chelsea’s offer for Onana this summer
Few goalkeepers have been as good as Onana this season, and for Tottenham, the Inter star is the perfect option to replace Lloris this summer, which is why Spurs simply have to match any offer Chelsea make for the Serie A shot-stopper in the upcoming window.
Onana is in the prime of his career and will only get better from here, and with Chelsea already in the war-room with Inter to discuss a potential deal, Tottenham are already losing ground in a transfer that could change the entire dynamic of their squad.
