Arsenal and Liverpool are both considering a summer move for Eintracht Frankfurt defender Evan Ndicka, according to a report from Sky Sports.

Sky Sports reports that Dejan Lovren’s future at Anfield looks uncertain. Meanwhile, Arsenal only have Pablo Mari on loan – albeit with a clause that will allow the Gunners to make the deal permanent this summer.

Both clubs are looking elsewhere, according to Sky Sports.

They have reportedly joined a host of European sides – including Sevilla, Valencia, and both Inter and AC Milan – in tracking Ndicka.

The 20-year-old has made 15 Bundesliga appearances this season. He has also made four appearances in the Europa League, scoring once.

Frankfurt have not had the best campaign after qualifying for Europe last year. But they do currently boast the best defensive record in the bottom-half of the Bundesliga.

Though he is predominantly known for being a centre-back, Ndicka has actually made more appearances at left-back this season. But he is also capable of playing in a holding midfield role.

He is very comfortable with the ball at his feet, so he could prove to be an exciting addition for Mikel Arteta or Jurgen Klopp.

But with plenty of admirers already looking on, it is probably not going to be easy to win the race for his signature.
