Tottenham Hotspur are keen on Andre Onana and have now told Inter Milan that they will take the goalkeeper this summer.
That’s according to a report from 90Min, who claim that Onana is effectively on the transfer list at Inter.
Onana only joined Inter last summer, arriving on a free transfer from Ajax.
Inter need to raise funds though and Onana is seen as one player who can bring in some cash.
It’s suggested that both Chelsea and Tottenham have told Inter that they are happy to take Onana this summer.
It’s unclear just how much that would cost, but the two London clubs appear keen to strike a cut-price deal and take advantage of Inter’s financial situation.
Spurs are understood to have admired Onana for a long time and may feel this is the perfect chance to sign him.
However, Chelsea are trying to tempt Inter by offering a swap deal.
Blues goalkeepers Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga are both available and are on offer to Inter in a swap for Onana.
That’s a potential problem for Tottenham, with Inter potentially happy to take an immediate replacement for Onana.
HITC View: Tottenham need to find a goalkeeper amid Andre Onana interest
Tottenham have to make signing a new goalkeeper a top priority.
That will be down to a new manager and director of football following the exits of Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici.
The presence of neither of those roles makes it tricky to engineer deals for players like Onana right now.
Still, this is a real need for Tottenham with Hugo Lloris sadly looking like a shadow of his former self.
Spurs need to find their future number one and backup Fraser Forster just isn’t going to be that player.
Onana has impressed for Inter this season and could fill the role for Tottenham – but beating Chelsea won’t be easy.
