Liverpool and Arsenal have been monitoring the Eintracht Frankfurt defender Evan Ndicka this season. They had been among the clubs tracking the France Under-21 international before the suspension of football across Europe due to the outbreak of coronavirus. Spanish sides Valencia and Sevilla and the two Milan clubs have also been keen on Ndicka, who is one of a limited number of promising left-footed centre-backs. Arsenal signed Pablo Mari - a left-footed centre-back - from Flamengo in January, albeit on an initial loan deal, although they do have the option to make the transfer permanent this summer. Premier League leaders Liverpool, meanwhile, could be in the market for a new centre-back due to the uncertain future of Dejan Lovren, who has made only nine Premier League starts this season.
