Evan Ndicka

Evan Ndicka is a tall, left-footed centre-back who became a key figure at AS Roma after arriving from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023, where he had spent five seasons establishing himself as one of the Bundesliga's most reliable defenders. Comfortable in possession and strong aerially, he suits the ball-playing demands of modern defensive systems. His decision to represent Côte d'Ivoire over France has proven significant — he was part of the squad that lifted the AFCON trophy in 2023. At 26, Ndicka is entering his prime and is central to the Elephants' defensive structure.
