Report: Arsenal reach an agreement to sign Evan Ndicka on a free transfer

Arsenal have reportedly reached an agreement to sign Frankfurt defender Evan Ndicka. Ndicka will be out of contract next summer and according to various reports, the Frenchman will join the Gunners as a free agent.

The 23-year-old becomes the first piece of business for 2023 although we’ll have to wait until the summer to see him in Arsenal colours.

🚨 Evan Ndicka (23), out of contract with Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt next summer, ‘has already reached an agreement with Arsenal for June’. AS Roma had wanted to sign centre-back in January, but he told them he was going to run down his contract. [@ilRomanistaweb] #afc pic.twitter.com/s5MhZYQRLS

Ndicka is a left-footed centre-back and will provide competition for Gabriel Magalhaes, he can also play at left-back.

Highly rated in Germany, Ndicka is described as a quick and strong 6″4 defender comfortable with the ball at his feet.

Ndicka had no intention to extend his stay at Frankfurt however, he wants to stay with the Bundesliga side until the end of the season, ruling out a transfer in January.
