Newcastle United told not to pay £20million asking price for Evan Ndicka as future hangs in balance

Newcastle United have been told not to pay the £20million asking price set by Eintracht Frankfurt for French defender Evan Ndicka. The Magpies are one of a number of top flight European clubs linked with the young French defender after a stellar 12 months with the Bundesliga outfit.

The 23-year-old played a key part in the German side's Europa League winning campaign and is highly thought of across Europe. The Toon were linked with a move for the centre-defender heading into the summer transfer window, but with his contract set to expire next summer, Ndicka is reportedly considering his options.

Chronicle Live spoke with Christopher Michel, Eintracht Frankfurt reporter for German outlet Sport1, for an insight into how Evan Ndicka has fared since he was linked to St. James' Park last season and whether a January move could come to fruition.
