According to rumours from Italy, Arsenal and defender Evan Ndicka of Eintracht Frankfurt have reached an agreement. According to Il Romanista, Roma is eager to sign the talented Ndicka. According to reports, he has informed Frankfurt that he won’t be signing a new deal, opening the door for a free move.
Ndicka won’t be joining Roma though because of Arsenal. According to Il Romanista, the Gunners have already agreed to sign Ndicka for free in the summer. Prior to the January transfer window, the Gunners were regarded to be less interested in a defender than other players. However, it looks like Arsenal may have signed Ndicka before the upcoming campaign.
If they struck a deal, they would sign him ahead of a number of teams, including Newcastle United.
Tottenham are rumoured to have been interested in acquiring Ndicka, who was dubbed a “phenomenal” defender for his talent and accomplishments in Germany. Ndicka is a member of the potent French team that is now competing in Europe.
He behind players like Varane, Konate, Kimpembe, and Upemacano in the France hierarchy despite his great play.
View of TBR: Ndicka is a great addition to Arsenal.
If this information is accurate and Ndicka has signed a contract with Arsenal, it’s a smart move for the upcoming season. Yes, January is the immediate focus, and the Gunners must bring in fresh talent to maintain their championship challenge. Ndicka, though, is a good defender and someone who might be very important for Arsenal.
Ndicka is still young enough to continue developing, and the team made a wise decision considering that recent purchases by Arsenal have been of a similar calibre. There won’t be many better options available in the summer on a free transfer, for sure.
Young Scottish left-back Hickey has drawn interest from European teams since breaking into the starting lineup for Bologna at the age of 19. Calcio Mercato reports that Arsenal and the left-back have reached an agreement on a price, which is anticipated to be about €20 million. Hickey was also coveted by Napoli, but it looks Arsenal has edged them out.
Arsenal’s normal starting left-back is Kieran Tierney, but due to frequent injuries, Mikel Arteta has been forced to look for a backup. Nuno Tavares has filled in for Tierney on occasion, but he has had trouble finding his groove since joining the team.
