Calciomercato says that Eintracht Frankfurt are now willing to sell Evan Ndicka for just £7m. Arsenal, Tottenham, and West Ham are all interested in buying him.
Arsenal, Tottenham, or West Ham might get a good deal
Well, this is a great chance for the three Premier League teams, and soon one of them could get a huge deal.
Calciomercato thinks Eintracht Frankfurt is worried about losing their No. 2 for free when his contract ends in July. They are willing to approve a low-cost deal in January because of this.
It comes after Il Romanista said that Arsenal is interested in the 23-year-old player. Foot Mercato said that Spurs wanted to sign him.
Jeunes Footeux also said that West Ham was interested in the tall defender. The Italian news source says that Juventus, Roma, and AC Milan are also interested in Ndicka.
If no one wants to pay the £7 million needed to sign the Frenchman permanently, those who want to use his services could also reach a pre-contract agreement with him before he becomes a free agent in July.
So far this season, Ndicka has been one of the best young defenders in Europe, as he has been for the past few years. He has played 16 games for Eintracht Frankfurt in all competitions.
The player for France’s U-21 team also helped Germany win the Europa League last season.
GREAT CHANCE FOR THE TEAMS
We think Mikel Arteta and Antonio Conte can’t pass up this chance in the market.
David Moyes solved his problems at center back by bringing in Nayef Aguerd and Thilo Kehrer over the summer. Antonio Conte, on the other hand, could only find a short-term fix by getting Clement Lenglet on loan.
The Athletic says that Arteta also wanted Arsenal to sign a new center back named Lisandro Martinez, but Manchester United outbid Arsenal for Martinez.
It looks like the Spaniard wants a left-sided central defender to balance out his defense. So the fact that Ndicka is left-footed should be interesting to him.
So, we would be very surprised if Arsenal or Tottenham turned down the chance to sign Ndicka for just £7m.
Ndicka is a French center back who plays in the Bundesliga for Eintracht Frankfurt. The 23-year-old player signed a five-year deal with the German team in 2018. He came from Ligue 1 club Auxerre and reportedly cost £5 million.
Ndicka began his youth career with two local amateur teams. In 2012, when he was 13, he joined Auxerre. After making his professional debut in January 2017, he signed his first professional contract the next month. He did well during the 2017-18 season and moved to Frankfurt in the summer of that year.
The 23-year-old has played for France’s youth teams from Under-16 to Under-21. But he hasn’t been called up to the senior team yet. The center-back has been a mainstay in the Frankfurt team, making 153 appearances and scoring 10 goals, and setting up 9 more.
