ARSENAL have joined the bidding war for Eintracht Frankfurt ace Evan Ndicka, reports suggest.
The Gunners are still in the market for a left-sided centre-back ahead of the January transfer window.
According to the Evening Standard, Ndicka, 23, is one of the North Londoners’ top targets but face competition for his signature.
Tottenham, Newcastle and Manchester United have also been previously linked with the centre-back.
Arsenal turned their attention on Ndicka after missing out on Lisandro Martinez, who signed for United last summer.
Mikel Arteta’s side also failed to land Calvin Bassey, who opted for Ajax.

Ndicka stood out for Eintracht last season as he helped them win the Europa League.
The Frenchman continues to impress in the Bundesliga with a total of 17 appearances already this season.
The defender poses as a very attractive target as his contract runs out in June.
Ndicka joined Eintracht from Auxerre in 2018 and quickly rose through the ranks at the Deutsche Bank Park.

The 23-year-old has since amassed a total of 10 goals and nine assists in 156 appearances across all competitions.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, though, has managed to create a rock-solid defence with William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes at centre-back.
