Revitalised Gunners star key as Arsenal, Spurs tussle for Bundesliga star Arsenal, Tottenham and Southampton are all scouting Eintracht Frankfurt defender Evan N’Dicka ahead of a potential transfer swoop, a report has claimed.

Therefore, intermediary Michael N’Cho Ibou has a strong working relationship with Arsenal, which could come to fruition again. After struggling for form ever since moving to Arsenal, Pepe started his fourth successive game on Tuesday. What’s more, his goal and all-round performance against Wolves led to Martin Keown raving over his performance. While the Ivory Coast international is in the spotlight, however, BILD insists that N’Dicka’s future has yet to become the centre of attention among clubs keen on his signature. The 21-year-old came through Auxerre’s academy in his native France, before signing for Frankfurt in 2018.
