Ajax’s shot-stopper picks Victor Valdes as the best goalie in terms of handling the ball.
The 24-year-old reveals he’s learnt a lot from him during his spell at the Barca academy.

“Víctor Valdes was the best goalkeeper with his hands. He had incredible hands,” Ajax’s goalkeeper Andre Onana told Ziggo when asked to name the most technical colleague.

“I trained a lot with him and he was incredible because I learned a lot from him since he was one of the best in the world at that time,” the Cameroonian added, referring to his 5-year spell at the Barcelona academy.

Onana never made it to the Barca first team or even the B team as he left for Ajax for just €150,000 in 2015. He has kept 78 clean sheets in 189 games for the Eredivisie giants.

Meanwhile, Valdes returned to the Catalan club last year as a Barca U19s coach. He spent just a couple of months at Barca before being fired.
