5 Andre ONANA

CAMEROON

A nine-month doping ban looked to have little effect when the Ajax keeper returned to action in November to make some telling saves and produce a man-of-thematch performance for Cameroon in their decisive World Cup qualifier against the Ivory Coast.

He played two matches and showed no ring rust despite his Dutch club deciding the 25-yearold can sit on their bench ahead of an anticipated sale in January. Inter are high on the suitors’ list although Onana is expected to attract widespread interest after being rated among the best keepers in European club football.

He is a product of the Samuel Eto’o Academy and was a junior at Barcelona from the age of 14.
