Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United reportedly want Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana, who helped stun Real Madrid.
Ajax’s famous 4-1 win at Real Madrid on Tuesday night would have been particularly special for Andre Onana. The young goalkeeper started his career in Barcelona after all, but it is Ajax where he has made his name.
Dusan Tadic ran the show, Lasse Schone scored a stunning free-kick and Hakim Ziyech proved that he can cut it at the very top level as the Amsterdam giants cruised to a stunning win that send shockwaves around Europe.
But Onana’s contributions should not be understated.
At the age of 22, the Cameroon international continues to establish himself as one of the continent’s most promising goalkeepers and he was in imperious form at the Bernebau.
Onana was athletic, confident and almost unbeatable – he would have kept another clean-sheet if it wasn’t for a clinically-taken Marco Asensio consolation.
It was the sort of performance, on the biggest stage, against the European champions, that has scouts from Tottenham and West Ham flocking to Amsterdam.
According to De Telegraaf, the London duo have both expressed an interest in Onana, who is valued at around £30 million. On last night’s evidence, he would be a fine investment.
Tottenham, however, have a top goalkeeper of their own with Hugo Lloris starring in Dortmund while Onana made history in Madrid.
