The 20-year-old talent is one of just a few left-footed centre-backs so can make for an interesting addition as well as add something different to the squads.
France Under-21 Ndicka has also gained the attention of other top clubs such as Valencia and Sevilla as well as the two Milan clubs.
Tracking of the ace is currently on hold with football suspended due to the coronavirus outbreak.
All English football, along with football in other leagues as well as most global sporting events, have been postponed.
The Premier League will definitely not return before April 30.
Arsenal made their own left-footed centre-back singing in January, in Pablo Mari.
Despite that being on an initial loan deal, they still have the option to make that permanent in the summer window.
When it comes to the Reds, there is uncertainty regarding Dejan Lovren, who has made only nine Premier League starts this campaign.
Arsenal and Tottenham are understood to be keeping tabs on the Liverpool defender ,as well as there being reported interest from Lazio.
Ndicka would make a good addition to Jurgen Klopp’s defence with him making 14 starts in the Bundesliga before the suspension was decided.
He has also made a total of 25 appearances across all competitions for Frankfurt.
Ndicka pulled his weight during the Europa League last 32 victory over RB Salzburg and the last 16 first leg defeat to Basel.
