“I have a fantastic relationship with Eto’o, and we even played together at San Siro. We’ve talked about Inter on several occasions, both when I was on international duty and at other times, too.

“He always spoke very highly of this club and told me that Inter would be perfect for me given the way I play. That’s why when I heard about the offer from Inter – a great club that was interested in me – I never had any doubts. Being here is fantastic, I’m really happy.”

Andre Onana continued to focus on the size and stature of Inter as a club even though he has been at great clubs like Barcelona and Ajax in the past.

“I’m very happy to be part of this great club and this family, which is a great institution. What more can you say about a club that has done it all? Being here is amazing, and we hope to achieve important objectives in the future.”

It was put to the former Ajax player that Inter has had a lot of highly successful goalkeepers. And he has the chance to follow in their footsteps. He said he wants to write his own story instead.

“Inter are a great club and have always had good goalkeepers, including now. I’m calm; I’m the one who needs to write my own story.

“This is a big challenge and I like big challenges. Time will tell if I succeed. But I’m very confident and happy to be here. There’s not much I can say. I just can’t wait to take to the pitch, where you’ll see who the real André is.”
