Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte is keen on signing Andre Onana, while Newcastle United also have their eye on the Ajax goalkeeper, according to a report from 90min.

Onana is currently set to be a free agent at the end of the season. Of course, he is currently serving a suspension after taking a banned substance.

It is claimed that he is unlikely to pen a fresh contract with the Eredivisie side. And that appears to have put a number of teams on alert.

According to 90min, Newcastle and Inter Milan are amongst his admirers.

But it is also claimed that Conte wants to bring him to North London. The report suggests that he has told Fabio Paratici that he wants a new goalkeeper.

Hugo Lloris is out of contract in the summer. But Conte wants a new stopper regardless of whether Lloris stays or not.

Signing Onana could prove inspired from Tottenham

Tottenham signed Pierluigi Gollini on loan in the summer. He has featured on a handful of occasions. But perhaps it would be fair to say that he is yet to put real pressure on Lloris.

Onana – who was heavily linked with Arsenal in the summer – meanwhile, has previously been considered one of the best goalkeeping talents plying their trade in Europe.

Obviously, he was the man between the sticks when Lucas Moura scored the stunning hat-trick that took Spurs to the 2019 Champions League final.

His stock has since fallen due to his suspension. But his availability next summer opens the door to an inspired piece of business for one club.

Spurs will hope that they can beat Newcastle and Inter to his signature.
