Chelsea have already spoken to Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana about a move to Stamford Bridge, according to a report.

Journalist Ben Jacobs has told GiveMeSport that Chelsea are interested in signing Andre Onana from Inter Milan in the summer transfer window.

The reporter has claimed that the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners have spoken directly to Onana, who is on £67,000 per week as salary (SalarySport).

Jacobs said: “Chelsea have reached out already and spoken to Onana at Inter and there’s nothing necessarily concrete or advanced at this point because Pochettino would have to input to any kind of signing.

“Particularly goalkeeper, as it’s perhaps the most intriguing signing for Chelsea in many ways, because they already have two strong challengers for the number one.

“But that’s without any clarity for Mendy and Kepa as to who actually would be the number one and a new manager is going to have to input into that as well.”

Andre Onana would be a brilliant signing for Chelsea

In our view, Andre Onana would be a brilliant signing for Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

The 27-year-old is one of the best goalkeepers in the world and would make Chelsea better and stronger.

Onana is good with his feet, can spray the ball out from the back, and is brilliant at stopping shots.

And he could end up winning the UEFA Champions League with Inter this season.

The Cameroonian is in his peak now, and he would be able to make an immediate impact at Chelsea.

Now, of course, if Chelsea are to sign Onana, then they will have to convince him by saying that he will be their number one goalkeeper.

There is no way that the goalkeeper would move to Chelsea if he is not guaranteed a place in the starting lineup.

Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa’s reported interest in Onana could also complicate things for Chelsea.
