Arsenal to make surprise move for Roma star?

Arsenal could make a surprise approach to sign Roma centre-back Evan Ndicka during the summer transfer window, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Gunners are preparing for a busy summer and they could enter the market for a new central defender. Jakub Kiwior has been linked with a return to Serie A and could push for a move.

In that case, the club will need another left-footed option to deputise behind Gabriel Magalhaes and reports claim that the club are weighing up an approach for Roma star Ndicka.

The Giallorossi need a big-money sale to balance their books and it is claimed that a fee of around £34 million could persuade them to sanction his sale.

The Gunners are likely to face competition from Newcastle United for the 25-year-old, who was previously on the radar of English clubs during his time with Eintracht Frankfurt.

Manchester United have also been credited with an interest in the past and they could enter the pursuit if they qualify for the Champions League.
