Tottenham Hotspur Launch A Move For This Serie A Defender: Should Spurs Snap Him Up?

In a recent report, RMC Sport stated that Tottenham Hotspur have launched a move for AS Roma defender Evan Ndicka. It has been mentioned that Spurs are hoping to get a deal done for the Ivory Coast centre-back this summer. Ndicka's Impressive Season In Serie A Ndicka had a solid campaign at the Italian club as he managed to produce a handful of impressive performances at the heart of their defence last season. The Ivory Coast international made 51 appearances for Roma in the previous campaign, scoring one goal and grabbing a couple of assists across various competitions. Advertisement The 25-year-old was a rock at the back for Roma and did well to make 32 tackles, 46 blocks and 33 interceptions for his current club in Serie A last season. He even distributed possession accurately from the back after completing 92.1% of his attempted passes in top-flight football (stats via His current deal at AS Roma will run out in the summer of 2028 which could make it difficult for Spurs to sign him on the cheap this off-season. LECCE, ITALY – MARCH 29: Evan Ndicka of AS Roma during the Serie A match between Lecce and AS Roma at Stadio Via del Mare on March 29, 2025 in Lecce, Italy. (Photo by) Should Tottenham Hotspur Snap Ndicka Up This Summer? Ndicka is a solid tackler of the ball and can scan the danger well to earn possession back for his team inside his half. He usually puts his foot through the ball when the opposition are on the front foot and can use his towering 1.92m frame to win his fair share of aerial duels. Advertisement However, only time will tell whether the Ivory Coast defensive ace can cope with the high intensity of the Premier League if Tottenham manage to bring him on board this summer. Ndicka would add more bite and steel to the North London club's backline. He has what it takes to challenge for a regular starting spot at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next season. At 25, Ndicka has his peak years ahead of him which makes him a decent choice for Spurs to pursue in this transfer window. He might even help Tottenham compete across all fronts over the next few years. With all things considered, Spurs should focus on snapping Ndicka up ahead of the new campaign. However, the North London club needs to be patient before they can get the best out of the talented centre-back.

Inter Milan Proclaims ‘We're Proud' To Make Cristian Chivu Coach – Adds ‘Our Goals Are The Same As Ever'

Inter Milan Proclaims 'We're Proud' To Make Cristian Chivu Coach – Adds 'Our Goals Are The Same As Ever' Beppe Marotta says Inter Milan are 'proud' to name Cristian Chivu as coach, and that his arrival doesn't change the Nerazzurri's goals. Speaking to reporters, via FCInterNews, the Inter President gave his thoughts after the Romanian was officially appointed as the club's new coach. Advertisement Inter Milan have officially confirmed the appointment of Cristian Chivu as their new coach. The Nerazzurri had already decided upon the 44-year-old to replace Simone Inzaghi a few days ago. On Thursday, Inter chose Chivu, concluding a search of a couple days. This search had seen them try for Cesc Fabregas, and also reportedly consider Patrick Vieira. However, in the end, Inter went with Treble-winning former defender Chivu. They called the Romanian, and he agreed to step up. Marotta: 'Inter Proud To Name Cristian Chivu New Coach, Our Goals The Same As Ever' ROME, ITALY – APRIL 28: Cristian Chivu, Head Coach of Parma Calcio, looks on prior to the Serie A match between SS Lazio and Parma at Stadio Olimpico on April 28, 2025 in Rome, Italy. (Photo by) Inter Milan President Beppe Marotta gave his thoughts on Chivu's appointment. Advertisement 'We're proud of having linked such an historic name for Inter to the role of coach,' he said. Chivu spent six years as a Nerazzurri player before hanging up his boots. Chivu won the European Treble of the Serie A title, the Champions League, and the Coppa Italia with Inter in the 2009-10 season. Marotta continued that 'I believe modern football clubs must cultivate this connection.' 'Because within this character, there are a lot of positive values.' The Inter President insisted the club are 'satisfied and happy' with their choice to appoint Chivu. And as far as Inter's objectives next season as ever, Marotta said they're 'the same ones as ever.' Advertisement 'The history of Inter says this is the case. Inter participate in competitions to win. Then if someone's better than us, as happened last season, we'll take our hats off to them.' 'However, we have to remember that reaching the top isn't easy,' Marotta stressed. 'Not everyone has reached that far in recent years.'

Botafogo To Seal Transfer Of Out-Of-Contract Inter Milan Star In Time For FIFA Club World Cup

Botafogo To Seal Transfer Of Out-Of-Contract Inter Milan Star In Time For FIFA Club World Cup Botafogo are ready to seal the transfer of Joaquin Correa from Inter Milan in time for the FIFA Club World Cup. This according to Sky Sport Italia transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio. He reported on air, via FCInterNews, that everything is in place for the 30-year-old to make the move. Advertisement Joaquin Correa has come to a four-year stint at Inter Milan. The Argentine joined the Nerazzurri from Lazio in the summer of 2021. Correa joined right at the end of the transfer window. He made an immediate impact, coming off the bench to score a match-winning brace in a 3-1 win away to Hellas Verona. However after that, Correa's performances for Inter were deeply underwhelming. Botafogo To Sign Joaquin Correa For FIFA Club World Cup MILAN, ITALY – DECEMBER 06: Joaquin Correa of FC Internazionale looks on during the Serie A match between FC Internazionale and Parma at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on December 06, 2024 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) In the summer of 2023, after two disappointing seasons at the club, Inter loaned Correa out to Marseille. However, the Argentine's form was little better for the Ligue 1 club than it had been at the San Siro. Advertisement Correa returned to Inter last summer. And despite numerous links away, he ended up seeing out his contract at the club. Correa scored two goals and made two assists across twelve appearances in Serie A in his final season at the Nerazzurri. Technically speaking, Correa's contract with Inter runs out at the end of June. But the Nerazzurri will release him a few weeks early from his deal. This will allow the former Lazio and Sevilla forward to join Brazilian club Botafogo. Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the Brazilian giants will be able to complete the signing of Correa before the pre-Club World Cup transfer window closes. Therefore, the Argentine can be a part of Botafogo's squad for that tournament.
