Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea transfer mission becomes clearer after Champions League final

It has not been a straightforward ride for Andre Onana. Far from it, in fact.

Banned in 2021 for 12 months for doping, after mistakenly taking his wife's medicine, Ajax, Onana's employers at the time, had hoped for a shorter time out for their goalkeeper. However, that was not the case with UEFA taking a strict approach to proceedings, despite accepting that there had been no attempt from the goalkeeper to circumvent the rules. Onana joined Inter Milan on a free transfer in 2022 – and the Cameroonian has not looked back since.

Saturday evening saw Onana go all so close to reaching the very pinnacle of football but his brave Inter side were beaten 1-0 by clear favourites Manchester City. If it wasn't for Onana, though, it would have been far more comfortable for Pep Guardiola's men.
