I'm no Ajax fan, but how he treated them is disgraceful. No love or thanks, just in it for the money
Stunning!
Pretty laboured interview but interesting story. Top player
Big inspiration
Hope this man will lift that AFCON trophy at home, what a moment it would be for him after the year he had!
Hes a product of the samuel etoo academy
They should do a feature on andruw jones. His mother is of lebanese descent
Courage to you my brother André Onana. I like your efforts in expressing yourself well in English. More wins #teamCameroon.

He seems a very nice, balanced young man, I'm really happy he signed for us at Inter too, if he does well, he can become an Inter legend, we have a great tradition of great goalkeepers, therefore I wish him all the best, and welcome to Inter, I hope he'll bring the Afcon trophy 🏆 too back with him, come Onana, come on Cameroon 🇨🇲 and always Forza Inter forever 🖤 💙 G

I wish him greatness! But the AFCON winners will be Nigeria 🇳🇬.
I just admire his ability to speak both English and French.
Great interview 10:34 did it for me. Playing in front of family and friends must really be amazing. Wish you the best André

The coaches also need to learn that football has evolved, goalies are not just pinned at the back. Sweeper Keepers is what we have now.
