At just 23 years of age, Evan N’Dicka already has a remarkable career history. He is a mainstay for Eintracht Frankfurt and was integral to the team clinching the Europa League title in 2021/22. His performances for the Bundesliga side have firmly cemented him as one of Europe’s budding talents. Consequently, he has been on the radar of some of the continent’s elite clubs.
According to a recent Safebettingsites.com report, N’Dicka has an Impact Score (IS) of 87.5, the highest for players his age and younger. IS is a metric that evaluates a player’s impact on their team’s performance. The site holds that such a high measure explains why this Frenchman is among Europe’s most-sought young talents.
Safebettingsites’ resident football expert, Edith Reads, understands why N’Dicka is one of Europe’s in-demand footballing talents. She explains, ” Evan stands out from the other European prospects for his strong technical skills and his composure on the pitch. His ability to adapt quickly and read the game means he can often be one step ahead of the opposition. With such a high level of ability across the board, it’s no surprise that Evan has made such an impression on scouts.”
Edith adds that N’Dicka’s over 150 career matches have given him a wealth of experience critical to his high-level performances. This season, for instance, the center-back has played the full minutes of Eintracht Frankfurt’s 19 Bundesliga matches. His participation has helped “The Eagles” win ten games, draw five and lose only four. He has also clocked 540 minutes in the team’s 6 Uefa Champions League Outings.
N’Dicka is the Subject of Growing Transfer Speculation
N’Dicka’s performances have led to heightened speculation surrounding his future. That is only furthered by the fact his current contract with Frankfurt expires on 30th June 2023. This situation has put some of Europe’s elite teams on high alert since they can snap him up for free if Frankfurt opts not to extend his stay at Deutsche Bank Park.
Reports indicate that the young defender is on the shortlist of some of England’s elite clubs this summer. According to journalist Ben Jacobs English big guns Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal have been tracking the highly regarded Frenchman. Other reports have intimated that Tottenham and West Ham United are also interested in his services.
Additionally, there are suggestions that he is a very attractive prospect for the Spanish league leaders, Barcelona. The Catalans are looking to replace club legend Gerad Pique. N’Dicka is an attractive option because he could join Barca for free, which is especially valuable now, considering their financial woes. Reports on the Spanish outlet todofichajes suggest that he even turned down a potential interest from PSG to sign a pre-contract with the Blaugrana.
Only time will tell where the French center-back ends up next season. But what’s certain is that Frankfurt will have to fight to keep their prized defender longer.
