Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana: Black goalkeepers have to work harder

The Cameroon international has been impressive for the Sons of the Gods and recently won his first trophy with the side

Ajax Amsterdam goalkeeper Andre Onana says black goalkeepers must work harder than their white counterparts to get to the top of European football.

The 23-year-old has been outstanding for the Sons of the Gods since joining the side from Barcelona in 2015 and recently won the Dutch Cup with them.

He has also been a consistent performer for Ajax in the Champions League, and hopes to become the first black goalkeeper to play in the final of Europe's top club competition since 2007, when AC Milan won the trophy with Brazilian Dida in goal.
