Manchester United are interested in signing the AS Roma defender Evan Ndicka during the summer transfer window, and they will face competition from Arsenal.
Both clubs have been linked with the 25-year-old central defender, and a report via SportWitness claims that the player could be sold for £30 million. The Italian outfit are under financial pressure and they could look to sell some players to balance the books and comply with the financial regulations.
Man United need defensive reinforcement
Ndicka has been ever-present for them last season, and he played every minute of every league game. He has been outstanding in Italian football, and he has the physicality to do well in the Premier League as well. Manchester United were quite poor defensively last season, and they conceded 54 goals in 38 league matches. They will need to tighten up at the back if they want to fight for major trophies.
Ndicka could prove to be a solid acquisition for them at a reasonable price. Manchester United should look to take advantage of Roma’s situation and sign the player this summer. He could prove to be a bargain at that price.
Arsenal keen on Evan Ndicka
Meanwhile, Arsenal are keen on the player as well. However, Manchester United might be able to provide him with more opportunities. Arsenal are already well stocked in the defensive unit. They could use more depth on the side, but the 25-year-old will want to play regularly. It will be difficult for Arsenal to provide him with such assurance. If Manchester United come forward with a lucrative offer and promises of regular gametime, they might stand a great chance of getting the deal done.
The Ivorian defender will look to test himself at the highest level, and moving to the Premier League could be ideal for him. It remains to be seen where he ends up.
