TBR Football can exclusively confirm Evan Ndicka’s transfer stance amid interest from the likes of Bournemouth and Tottenham Hotspur.
The Cherries have enjoyed a solid season under Andoni Iraola, while Spurs will be hoping for better luck next term after a difficult campaign.
Bournemouth have one of the Premier League’s best young defenders in Dean Huijsen, but Liverpool and Newcastle United are in pursuit of the young Spaniard.
Meanwhile, Tottenham have had a lot of injury problems at centre-back and will be keen on bringing in reinforcements so as to avoid another defensive crisis.
Ndicka is a player both Bournemouth and Tottenham are eyeing, but they’re not the only clubs interested in the Ivory Coast international.

Evan Ndicka keen on Premier League move as Bournemouth and Tottenham joined by Brighton and West Ham in chase
TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey has confirmed that Ndicka would like to try his luck in the Premier League.
Bournemouth are looking at Ndicka as a potential replacement for Huijsen if he does leave the Vitality Stadium this summer.
Cherries football operations president Tiago Pinto signed Ndicka at Roma, and thinks he could be lured to the Vitality Stadium.
Tottenham, Brighton & Hove Albion and West Ham United have also watched the 25-year-old defender this season.
What Evan Ndicka could bring to the Premier League
Ndicka is a talented defender who has proven himself at the highest level, is physically imposing, and can play at left-back as well as centre-back.
Eintracht Frankfurt expert Christopher Michel said of Ndicka in 2023: “For a central defender, Ndicka is extremely goal-threatening.
“He has 10 goals and 9 assists in 135 competitive games. That’s enormous. His opening with his left foot is good, he is strong with his header and fast.
“His big weakness is that he sometimes switches off too early and recognises dangerous moments too late.
“But Ndicka brings an exciting complete package. A great defender!”
Ndicka made the move from Frankfurt to Roma in 2023 and he’s done very well at the Stadio Olimpico, with 77 appearances to his name including 43 this season.
At 25 years of age, Ndicka is yet to enter his prime as a centre-back, so this summer could be the right time for him to make the move to the Premier League.
