Ndicka expected to clear his pre-transfer medical
Dr Brar claims that the Roma centre-back played all league games last season and, with no notable injuries recently, he’s expected to clear his medical.
Tottenham have made an enquiry about Ndicka and Premier League rivals Manchester United have also done the same.

Ndicka’s stats from his senior career.
Discussing the state of play with Ndicka exclusively with Tottenham News, Dr Brar, a doctor in physical therapy and a sports scientist, shared his verdict.
“He played every league game last season and even otherwise, his injury record is perfect,” he said.
“While adapting to a new league would take some time, he’s expected to clear his medical without any issues.
“*A good pre-season will be key for him to be ready to play full matches from the start of the new season.*“

Tottenham would strengthen their side by signing Ndicka
Ndicka would be an excellent signing for Tottenham, strengthening their backline with his versatility and experience.
His 183 appearances for Eintracht Frankfurt and 85 for AS Roma showcase his reliability, while his ball-playing ability and aerial dominance suit Frank’s system.
His pace and physicality address Spurs’ defensive vulnerabilities, exposed in the 2024/25 season.
With a £34million price tag, his goals and assists from defence add an attacking dimension, making him a smart addition to bolster Spurs’ top-four ambitions.
