West Ham United are lining up a move for brilliant centre-back Evan Ndicka on a free transfer in the summer of 2023.

That’s according to a report from Jeunes Footeux who claim that the Hammers could actually sign the 23-year-old for around €15 million (£13.2 million) in January.

It seems as though West Ham may wait until the summer, however, when the towering French defender will be out of contract with Eintracht Frankfurt.

We allegedly could face competition from Sevilla for his signature as well (Jeunes Footeux).

Ironically, Ndicka was linked with a £27 million move to Rennes in the summer to replace Nayef Aguerd who left the French side for West Ham.

He ended up staying with Eintracht Frankfurt, and it now seems as though West Ham could pick the 23-year-old for absolutely nothing…

West Ham eyeing brilliant Evan Ndicka free transfer

According to Jeunes Footeux, the Hammers are eyeing up the Eintracht Frankfurt centre-back on a free transfer in the summer of 2023.

What a signing this would be for West Ham, and an absolute bargain one at that!

Ndicka is a truly elite defender, make no mistake about that.

In 32 Bundesliga games for Eintracht Frankfurt last season, Ndicka bagged four goals and four assists. During those appearances, he averaged 1.9 tackles, 1.5 interceptions and 4.1 clearances per game (Who Scored).

The 23-year-old also won 3.8 aerial duels per match and recorded a completion rate of 83.3% from 56.9 attempted passes per game (Who Scored).

Ndicka is an absolute colossus. Standing at 6ft 4in tall, he is totally dominant in the air. The centre-back seems to be tailor made for Premier League football.

He has been described as an ‘integral’ player for Frankfurt this season by The Mastermind Site.

Football journalist Zach Lowy has described the centre-back as a ‘brilliant’ player.

If West Ham sign Evan Ndicka for absolutely nothing, we will be absolutely delighted.
