AC Milan are reportedly interested in beating the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham to the signing of Evan Ndicka, who is set to leave Eintracht Frankfurt as a free agent this summer.

According to CalcioMercato, the Rossoneri are keeping tabs on the French centre-back amid growing rumours that the 23-year-old is ready to leave Frankfurt at the end of his contract, with Milan eager to add to their defensive ranks in the transfer window.

Lauded as a ‘phenomenal’ player, Ndicka has been key to Frankfurt’s incredible rise in recent years, climaxing last season with a triumph in the UEFA Europa League, yet the defender now looks ready to move on from Germany, with the Premier League and Milan now in his sights.

Frankfurter Rundschau recently reported that Arsenal and Tottenham were interested in signing the Bundesliga star. However, Milan’s interest in Ndicka could cause some major issues for the north London duo, with Stefan Pioli’s side one of the most attractive projects in European football.

Indeed, with Arsenal signing Jakub Kiwior in January and Tottenham in as big a mess as they have been in some years, Milan could fancy themselves as favourites to win Ndicka’s signature, with the defender himself likely to be open on a move to the San Siro.

Moreover, given the sheer stature of the club and their impressive record in recent seasons, Ndicka could play a massive role in helping Milan challenge for the league title, something no Italian club has managed to do this campaign due to Napoli’s record-breaking shenanigans.

Ndicka signing for Milan could be his best move this summer

The Premier League will always be an appealing option for Ndicka, yet with Arsenal stacked in the centre-back position and Tottenham in need of a complete club overhaul, the defender could find Milan to be the best option for his future this summer.

The Rossoneri have impressed in Europe this season and will now likely have the money to match any financial demands Ndicka will make this summer, and with a first-team spot seemingly guaranteed, the Frenchman could take his career to the next level in Italy.
