Some Tottenham fans are less than pleased with the prospect of the club bringing in Ajax goalkeeper, Andre Onana, this summer.
Onana has been linked with Spurs for the last two months, with the club reportedly seeking candidates to challenge Hugo Lloris for his number one spot (Daily Mail).
L’Equipe (as translated by GFFN) reported on Monday that Tottenham had already begun talks to bring the 24-year-old goalkeeper to North London.
It was claimed that the Cameroon international, who was also on Chelsea’s radar, is seeking a new challenge and will be available for just €30 million this summer.
However, some Spurs fans on social media insisted that Onana is not a good enough shot-stopper to replace Lloris as the club’s number one.
They urged the Lilywhites to bring in a goalkeeper with Premier League experience instead.
Here’s how some fans reacted to the report linking Spurs with a move for the Ajax star:
No thanks dean henderson is way better

No thanks, only good with his feet, bang average shot stopping and makes too many errors

But Hugo is better than Onana I guess

Don’t rate him. Good shot stopper but liable for mistakes. He cost Ajax that second Moura goal jumping on the ball as the defender went to clear it.

I’m sure Rui Patricio would cost 5M more, a no brainer.

I’d rather go for a proven PL performer like Pope
— James Bell (@jamesbell7) April 14, 2020
Please god don’t, we keep making same mistakes, go for proven premier league quality, Pope or Henderson, this guy is total puke, can be all over the place

Spurs Web Opinion
As we already saw when Heurelho Gomes arrived at Tottenham from PSV back in 2008, the Premier League is a completely different prospect for goalkeepers to the Eredivisie. That isn’t to say that Onana can’t adapt to the Premier League, but one can understand the fans’ concern.
