EPL: Chelsea Reportedly Eyeing Africa's Best Goalkeeper

EPL: Chelsea Reportedly Eyeing Africa's Best Goalkeeper

 

English Premier League (EPL) giants Chelsea may be best-placed to get their hands on Cameroon international, André Onana.

The Mirror have reported that the Dutch giants are open to cashing in on Onana, and indeed, the Blues direly need a new blood between the sticks.

Willy Caballero is no long-term solution, while the world's most expensive goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga appears to have proved that he doesn’t have the faith of Frank Lampard.

Chelsea have already done business with Ajax this year in recruiting Hakim Ziyech, and Onana could follow him to Stamford Bridge.

The 24-year-old came through Barcelona's academy before joining Ajax in 2015. He has also been linked with a possible return to Camp Nou, as well as PSG and Tottenham Hotspur.

Onana drew plaudits from fans around Europe for the role he played in Ajax’s thrilling UEFA Champions League (UCL) run last year, as well as their capture of the Eredivisie title.

The 2019 CAF Team of the Year member is one of the new breed of sweeper-keepers, both an excellent shot-stopper and comfortable with the ball at his feet.
