André Onana epitomizes the modern sweeper-keeper. Known for his confidence on the ball and range of passing, he is a vital component in building attacks from the back. Onana regularly steps out of his box to assist in play, resembling a holding midfielder at times—a fact highlighted in UEFA’s Technical Observers' report on the 2022–23 Champions League.

In Cameroon’s opening match at the 2022 World Cup against Switzerland, Onana recorded 26 touches outside the box—the most by any goalkeeper in World Cup history since records began in 1966. His poise, vision, and ability to dictate play from deep make him a unique asset on the pitch.
