The North London are currently without Gabriel Magalhaes after he was ruled out for the rest of the season following a hamstring injury that required surgery, and they are hoping the Brazilian will be ready to return to action at the start of next season.

Arsenal s’intéresse également à Evan Ndicka. Des échanges ont déjà eu lieu avec le board londonien. Le défenseur de 25 ans est sous contrat avec la Roma jusqu’en 2028 #Mercato #PL #Arsenal — Abdellah Boulma (@AbdellahBoulma) April 13, 2025
It appears Arsenal want to bolster their options in the position as Jakub Kiwior could leave in the summer, and the 6ft 4in Ndicka has emerged as a target having established himself as one of the best left-sided centre-backs in Italy.
The 25-year-old Ivory Coast international is currently under contract with Roma until 2028, and it could take a big offer to tempt the Serie A club into doing business with suitors this summer.
The former Eintracht Frankfurt star won the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations with his country after helping the Bundesliga club win the Europa League in 2021-22, making the Bundesliga Team of the Season that same season.
Arsenal could do with the versatility of Ndicka as he can also play at left-back, while his ball-playing and passing abilities make him suitable for the style of manager Mikel Arteta.
The former France youth international also brings plenty of experience to the table having been playing professionally since January 2017, and he will fancy his chances of playing regularly for the Gunners should a move work out.
Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta will be looking to sign a number 9 for the team this summer, but landing another defender could also become a priority should Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko join Kieran Tierney in leaving the club, and Ndicka could be perfect for them.
