Grobbelaar won with Liverpool, Mendy with Chelsea and now Onana looks set to triumph.<\/p>\n<p>Inter Milan signed Andre Onana on a free transfer from Ajax in the summer of 2022. He is only into his first season at the club but has already established himself as a fan favourite among the Nerrazzuri fanbase, having replaced veteran Samir Handanovic as the first-choice keeper.<\/p>\n<p>The 27-year-old has played 38 matches in total for the Italian side and kept 19 clean sheets while conceding only 30 goals in all competitions (stats via Transfermarkt). He had a major contribution in the Serie A club reaching the Champions League final for the first time in 13 years, having secured 8 clean sheets in 12 appearances.<\/p>\n<p>Onana therefore becomes the first Cameroon goalkeeper to reach the UCL finals and the third African goalkeeper to reach that level.<\/p>\n<p>After reaching the semi finals of the competition, Andre Onana was rated the best goalkeeper in the champions league, thanks to his 40 saves in 6 matches; the best and highest recorded by any goalkeeper.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright 2023\u00a9kick442.com.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
