Speaking about the reasons for joining Villa, Onana gave a thoughtful answer: "I considered all the factors and finally decided to join Villa. There is a healthy environment here, which is conducive to my personal growth and improvement of my skills. Last season, Villa played very well, scored a lot of goals and managed to qualify for the Champions League. I am eager to show myself in the Champions League again and this is a great motivation for me. In addition, Villa has one of the best coaches in the industry - Emery - and I believe that under his guidance, I can rise to a new level of skill on the ball."
Speaking about his Belgian national teammate Tilemans, Onana was full of gratitude: "Tilemans helped me a lot in the process of joining Villa.

Tilemans is an experienced player and I am sure he will be able to give me a lot of valuable guidance."
Onana was also full of praise for Villa Park: "It's a great stadium, the atmosphere is electric and the fans are very passionate. I've played against Villa a few times before and I know what they're capable of. Now I'm ready to bring something new to the team and help Villa get back to their peak."
Looking ahead, Onana is confident: "Villa did very well last season, and we must maintain this momentum to compete with the top teams. I believe that under the leadership of Coach Emery, we can achieve even more brilliant results. I look forward to working with my teammates to win more honors for Villa."
