According to Le10sport, Paris Saint-German have joined the race to sign reported Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur defensive target Evan N’Dicka.

The Eintracht Frankfurt youngster has been linked with a summer move.

Sky Sports claimed back in May how Arsenal and Liverpool are keen on him. Spurs and Southampton, meanwhile, were linked last month by the same editorial.

N’Dicka, 20, has broken through at Frankfurt and made 20 Bundesliga starts this term.

Frankfurt head coach Adi Hutter told the Bundesliga official website how N’Dicka has made phenomenal progress, tipping the player for a huge future.

Arsenal must look to strengthen their defence this summer. David Luiz and Sokratis are both in their thirties, while Shkodran Mustafi remains unconvincing.

The Gunners may seek a long-term option. At 20, N’Dicka has his whole career ahead of him while natural left-footed centre-backs are in short supply.

Tottenham, on the other hand, need to freshen up their defence with Belgian duo Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen also in their thirties and on the decline.

Jose Mourinho has opted for Eric Dier at the back in recent weeks. However, Spurs ought to look at a more permanent option while adding some youthfulness.

The Premier League duo, however, face competition from PSG for N’Dicka.

Le10sport claim PSG are under pressure to sign more French players as per UEFA regulations, and N’Dicka fits the bill having represented France at youth levels.

Another report from Calciomercato also says AC Milan are keen on the player, while Frankfurt value their bourgeoning defender at around the £22 million mark.
