Eintracht Frankfurt chief Markus Krosche feels Evan Ndicka and Daichi Kamada will decide their futures soon. The pair are each transfer targets for Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
Ndicka and Kamada are both now in the final six months of their contracts and able to hold negotiations over free transfers for this summer. So, Adler sports director Krosche accepts they will want to believe they are making the right calls for the next stages of their careers.
Eintracht Frankfurt signed Ndicka from Auxerre in 2018, while Kamada arrived from Sagan Tosu in 2017. They are now among the most important players at Deutsche Bank Park this season. Boss Oliver Glasner has started them in 15 and 11 Bundesliga games respectively.
Arsenal and Tottenham are interested in sealing Ndicka and Kamada’s transfers
Kamada is also Die Adler’s lead goalscorer in the German top-flight with seven, plus three assists, so far this season. While Ndicka has helped goalkeeper Kevin Trapp keep two clean sheets to 24 goals conceded. Eintracht Frankfurt also sit fourth in the table after 15 games.
But impressing in the Bundesliga and winning the Europa League last term has brought an array of suitors along, too. Bild reports Tottenham are exploring a transfer for Kamada and notes that Eintracht Frankfurt are struggling to convince the midfielder to sign a new deal.
While on the other side of north London, Arsenal are targeting the transfer of Ndicka from Eintracht Frankfurt. Il Romanista even claims the Gunners already have a pre-contract with the centre-back in place for a Bosman deal. But they are not alone in chasing his signature.
Krosche has not given up on keeping Ndicka and Kamada at Eintracht Frankfurt
Reports by Roma Giallorossa note Roma, Tottenham and Newcastle United are also keen on Ndicka. While Jeunes Footeux, which also cites the Magpies’ interest, adds Manchester United, West Ham, AC Milan, AS Monaco, Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund, PSG and Sevilla.
Krosche, however, has not given up on edging out interest from Arsenal and Tottenham et al in a transfer to keep Ndicka and Kamada at Eintracht Frankfurt. He believes Die Adler can offer the pair everything they need. But they may soon confirm their desires to leave, too.
“In the next few weeks, we will see how they decide,” Krosche told Sky Germany. “We are in close contact with both players and have shown them what place they will take at Eintracht Frankfurt in the future.
“I understand that for both players it is an important point in their careers. They need time. They get that from us, too. As a club, we offer a good environment and good general conditions for further development and success. So there is a lot to be said for that for us.”
