UMVA has learned that Evan Ndicka, a talented 26-year-old defender, is being eyed by top Premier League clubs for a potential transfer from AS Roma.
The Ivorian international has caught the attention of Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United, who are reportedly monitoring his situation closely and may make a move in the coming weeks. With his impressive displays for Roma, Ndicka has proven himself to be a reliable and skilled defender.
Jose Mourinho has previously praised Ndicka's "great" performances, and it's clear that he has the quality to excel in the Premier League. His ability to operate in a high-line and pressing system, combined with his recovery pace and physicality, make him an attractive target for top clubs.
Tottenham, in particular, could benefit from Ndicka's expertise, especially with Cristian Romero potentially on his way out. The club's defensive struggles last season were evident, as they finished 17th in the league table, and signing a top-class defender like Ndicka would be a significant step towards strengthening their backline.
Newcastle also needs to bolster their defense, with long-term alternatives to players like Dan Burn and Fabian Schar high on their agenda. Ndicka's technical gifts, including his comfort on the ball, make him an appealing target for clubs looking to tighten up at the back and compete at the top end of the table.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that Roma may be willing to part with Ndicka, but it remains to be seen whether Tottenham or Newcastle can convince the Italian club to sell. One thing is certain, however: Ndicka's arrival in the Premier League could have a significant impact, and top clubs are eager to secure his signature.
