Over the course of 2021, Arsenal were linked a number of times with Evan Ndicka, currently contracted to Eintracht Frankfurt.
The 22-year-old has been shining in Germany with the Bundesliga side, and when the Gunners were desperately looking for a new centre-back, the move was almost a no-brainer.
They have since bought Benjamin White from Brighton for £52m+, but they could easily be in the market for another centre-back, seeing as they only have three natural players in the role in their first-team squad if you count Takehiro Tomiyasu as a right-back.
Therefore, the Ndicka option could still be on the table, whom Bild in Germany suggest will be available for a transfer come the summer.
That’s when Arsenal are mentioned, with it pointed out he has ‘been linked several times with Tottenham and Arsenal’, often by Bild themselves, while Paris Saint-Germain ‘have also shown interest’.
We’ll have to see what comes of this, but a player the Gunners wanted is now going to be available at a relatively affordable transfer fee, and Mikel Arteta shouldn’t pass up this opportunity.
