Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly chasing Andre Onana.
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly chasing Ajax defender Andre Onana.
The Sun claim Spurs will have to pay around £35 million to sign the talented Cameroon international.
Onana would be a replacement for Hugo Lloris, who is currently out with an injury.
Reality check
Lloris’ injury has highlighted Tottenham’s long term need for a successor.
Paulo Gazzaniga has been a fine deputy, but is he really going to be the solution 3-4 years from now?
Onana is only 23 and he has made great strides in his career so far.
He helped Ajax reach the Champions League semi-finals and played a key role in their success. He was particularly impressive in the matches against Tottenham.
Tottenham have needed a replacement for Lloris for a while and there are not many goalkeepers like Onana around.
How many youngsters at 23 have won domestic titles, play international football, and have performed consistently well in the Champions League?
Onana is a rare talent and one Tottenham should not pass on.
Lloris turns 33 in December and has shown erratic tendencies over the past 18 months.
Moving for long term successor Onana could be one of Tottenham’s smartest moves in years.
