Football: Goalkeeper Andre Onana Sets UCL Record After Inter Win 0
Cameroonian goalkeeper, Andre Onana has set a new record as Inter Milan goalkeeper in the UEFA Champions League.
The former Ajax shot-stopper became the first Inter goalkeeper to keep seven (the most) clean sheets in a single season in the elite European competition.
Onana has also made the most saves in the competition, and the Nerazurris are on course to reaching the final of the UEFA Champions League for the first time since 2010.
According to Squawka, the Cameroonian holds the record beating goalkeepers Julio Caesar and Toldo in terms of clean sheets in a single season.
Meanwhile, quick-fire goals from Edin Dzeko and Henrik Mikhytaryan give Inter a two-goal advantage heading into the second leg next week at the San Siro.
“Great result, but job not finished yet. We still have a lot ahead. Forza Inter,” wrote the former Cameroon goalkeeper on Twitter after the match.
Onana joined Inter Milan on a free transfer last summer after leaving Dutch giants Ajax Amsterdam.
He has since become an integral figure at San Siro as the Nerazurris chase European glory.

Tottenham Hotspur considering a move for Cameroon international 0
According to NapoliCalcioLive, Tottenham Hotspur are considering a move for talented Napoli and Cameroon midfielder Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa.
The 27-year-old has established himself as an integral part of Luciano Spalletti’s team since his move from Fulham. Anguissa has played a crucial role in Napoli’s success this season, helping them clinch the league title and reach the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United are closely monitoring Anguissa’s progress and could potentially make significant offers for him in the upcoming weeks. However, it remains to be seen whether Napoli is willing to part ways with the talented midfielder.
Having signed a contract that runs until 2025, Napoli hold a strong position and are under no obligation to sell Anguissa. The decision ultimately rests with the club, who will weigh the potential financial gain against the player’s value on the field.
For Tottenham Hotspur, bolstering their central midfield is a pressing need, and Anguissa’s technical abilities and physical attributes make him an intriguing prospect for the Premier League.
While the destination of the 27-year-old midfielder is uncertain, it is worth considering the circumstances surrounding the potential move. Napoli will be participating in the prestigious Champions League next season, which may make it less likely for Anguissa to join a club like Tottenham.
In this regard, a move to Manchester United seems more plausible, especially as the Red Devils are closing in on securing Champions League qualification. The allure of playing in Europe’s elite competition could be a deciding factor.
The potential acquisition of Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa would undoubtedly strengthen Tottenham Hotspur’s midfield and enhance their prospects for the upcoming season. His skill set and experience gained at both Napoli and Fulham make him a valuable asset.
Negotiations between the clubs and the player’s preferences will ultimately determine the outcome of this potential move. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham Hotspur can convince Anguissa to join their ranks.
