Tottenham Hotspur have ground to make up in any hope of signing Eintracht Frankfurt central defender Evan Ndicka.
RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins has taken to Twitter to reveal that while Tottenham have made contact over the possibility of signing the 23-year-old, talks with Italian clubs are at a far more advance stage.
Ndicka is the subject of two contractual offers from Serie A clubs with AC Milan having offered a five-year contract while Jose Mourinho‘s Roma have also tabled a five-year deal but with better financial terms which currently makes them the frontrunner.
The 23-year-old has featured for France’s youth squads from the Under-16’s to the Under-21’s but is yet to be capped by the French senior squad.

Spurs make contact over Ndicka
He was part of the Frankfurt side that faced off with Tottenham in the Champions League last year with both sides progressing out of Group D to the knockout rounds.
Ndicka has spent five seasons with the German club and has made 163 appearances in all competitions for them (transfermarkt), however, finds himself out of contract at the end of the month which is making him the subject of plenty of interest from potential suitors.
Le Milan AC a fait une proposition contractuelle à Evan Ndicka, 3 M€/an sur 5 ans. Salaire évolutif
La Roma propose 4 M€/ an sur une durée de 5 ans. Pour le moment les Italiens sont les mieux placés pour le faire signer

Ndicka is a promising talent and one who Tottenham rightly have on their radar, however, it remains to be seen whether Daniel Levy is prepared to match or better the salary offered by Roma.
With Ange Postecoglou having only just joined and a sporting director still to be appointed, Tottenham are playing catch-up in relation to their transfer activity.
You would have to assume that many players would certainly have been delaying any strong interest shown by the Premier League side until the full picture is clear of what is happening there going forward.
