‘Ndicka Arsenal’ has become a hot topic after Evan Ndicka agreed to join Arsenal in 2023 – his Eintracht Frankfurt contract expires in June.
The wonderkid has made a real name for himself in German football due to his consistently impressive displays for the Bundesliga side, which have attracted Mikel Arteta to his talent.
Eintracht Frankfurt’s No.2 is relatively inexperienced as well as young, so some fans may not know much about him.
So, who is Ndicka? Let’s take a look…
Who is Evan Ndicka?
Well, it was Il Romanista in Italy who revealed that the 23-year-old had chosen to join Arsenal in June 2023.
It comes after Ndicka played a vital role as Eintracht Frankfurt won the Europa League last season, beating Rangers on penalties in the final.
The France Under-21 international made 44 appearances in that campaign, scoring four goals while also providing four assists, and has continued his role as a vital member of the starting XI with 23 appearances so far this term.
Ndicka has also experienced his first taste of the Champions League this season as a reward for winning the Europa League, making six outings as he helped Eintracht Frankfurt reach the Round of 16.
By way of comparison, the Bundesliga’s official website have likened him to Samuel Umtiti.
