According to Calciomercato, Eintracht Frankfurt are now willing to sell Evan Ndicka for just £7m amid interest from Arsenal, Tottenham and West Ham.
Arsenal, Tottenham or West Ham could land a bargain
Well, this is a fantastic opportunity for the Premier League trio, and one of them could soon land a huge bargain.
Calciomercato believe Eintracht Frankfurt are concerned about losing their No.2 for nothing when his contract expires in July, and are therefore willing to sanction a cut-price deal in January.
It comes after Il Romanista claimed that Arsenal are interested in the 23-year-old, whereas it was Foot Mercato who revealed that Spurs are keen to secure his signature.
Elsewhere, Jeunes Footeux credited West Ham with an interest in the towering defender.
The Italian news outlet add that Juventus, Roma and AC Milan are also interested in Ndicka.
If nobody does decide to stump up the £7m needed to sign the Frenchman permanently, those interested in his services would also be able to strike a pre-contract agreement ahead of a free transfer in July.
Ndicka has been one of the most impressive young defenders in Europe so far this season – as he has been for the past few years, in truth – making 16 appearances in all competitions for Eintracht Frankfurt.
The France Under-21 international also helped the German side win the Europa League last term.
Great opportunity for Arsenal, Tottenham or West Ham
In our view, this market opportunity cannot be ignored, especially for Mikel Arteta and Antonio Conte.
David Moyes solved his issues in the centre-back department with moves for Nayef Aguerd and Thilo Kehrer over the summer, although Conte could only find a temporary solution with a loan deal for Clement Lenglet.
In regards to Arsenal, Arteta was also keen to sign a new centre-back in Lisandro Martinez, only for Manchester United to outbid the Gunners – that was according to The Athletic.
It seems the Spaniard specifically wants a left-sided central defender to provide balance to his backline, so the fact Ndicka is left footed should intrigue him.
Therefore, we would be very surprised if Arsenal or Tottenham ignore the chance to sign Ndicka for just £7m.
