Andre Onana revealed that Samuel Eto’o suggested a possible move to Inter, noting that after their talks he ‘never had doubts’ about the transfer.

The 26-year-old Cameroonian shot stopper was officially unveiled by the Nerazzurri today, joining on a free transfer after his contract expired with Ajax. Onana signed a five-year deal with Inter and he’s expected to become the club’s new number one, replacing Samir Handanovic.

Speaking to InterTV today, Onana first discussed conversations held with Eto’o and his certainty about joining Inter.

“I am very happy to be part of this great club, of this family that is a great institution. Being here for me is the top and we hope in the future to achieve important goals.

“I spoke with Eto’o several times, he always told me that Inter is perfect for me. That’s why when I heard about the offer I never had any doubts.”

He spoke about the Nerazzurri’s history of strong goalkeepers, including current number one Handanovic, whose contract expires next year.

“Inter have always had good goalkeepers, including the one currently playing. I am calm, it is a great challenge and time will tell if I will be able to win it. But I am very confident.”

Finally, Onana sent a message to the Inter fans, where he discussed the goals for the upcoming season.

“I know the season has not been what we expected, especially the last game where we failed to become champions, but the next ones will be better.

“We will fight to win everything, here and in Europe, because this team deserves all the best and with the players we have we have to think big. So have confidence in us.”

Before joining Inter, Onana spent seven years with Ajax, signing from Barcelona’s youth system in 2015. During that time, he made 212 appearances for the club, keeping 85 clean sheets and conceding 192 goals.
