Evan Ndicka, born on 20 August 1999 (age 26), is an Ivory Coast centre-back now with Roma, where he wears the number 5 shirt. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.90m) defender, his market value is around £25.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His career is shaped most clearly by Eintracht Frankfurt. Across five seasons in Germany he made 134 league appearances and scored 10 league goals, giving him a proper body of work rather than the usual passing-through spell. His strongest scoring season came in 2021–22, when he scored four times in 32 league appearances.
Ndicka has since become a regular presence for Roma. In 2025–26 he has made 31 Serie A appearances, scoring three league goals, and 46 appearances in all competitions, including 10 in the Europa League with two goals. He has also remained involved with Ivory Coast, making seven appearances in African World Cup qualifying this season.
Ndicka is an established defender whose most substantial spell remains his time at Eintracht Frankfurt, while his current role at Roma shows he is still firmly in first-team football rather than living off that earlier work.
