[6] [7] He signed his first professional contract with the club on 5 February. [6] He ultimately made 14 appearances for the club over the next season and half before signing for Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt for a reported fee of €5.5m. [8]

Eintracht Frankfurt [ edit ]

On 5 July 2018, Ndicka signed for German club Eintracht Frankfurt on a five-year deal. [9] He quickly became an important member of the first-team squad and featured regularly for the club in the league and the Europa League . [ citation needed ] In February 2019, his performances earned him the Bundesliga Rookie of the Month award, a monthly title awarded to the highest performing under-23 player in a particular month, and saw him also nominated for the Rookie of the Season award. [10] [11] From then, he missed only one match for the remainder of the season as the club narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification. [12]

Having been a part of the side that won the 2021?22 UEFA Europa League , [13] [14] in June 2023 Ndicka officially left Eintracht after five seasons, following the expiration of his contract. [15] [16]

Roma [ edit ]

On 21 June 2023, Ndicka signed for Serie A club Roma on a five-year contract. [17] On 14 April 2024, during a match against Udinese in the Serie A at the 73rd minute, Ndicka collapsed due to chest pain; he was eventually taken away on a stretcher, although conscious. [18] The match was abandoned fifteen minutes later with a 1?1 draw. [19] AS Roma's official profile on X (Twitter) stated later that Ndicka was conscious and taken to a hospital for "further checks".

International career [ edit ]

Ndicka represented France at U16 and U17 level and was called up to the U18 team for the first time by manager Bernard Diomede in March 2017. [21] [22] He then went on to play for every French youth squad up to the Under-21 national team . [23]

[27] He finally debuted with the Ivory Coast in a 1?0 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualification win over Lesotho on 9 September 2023. [28]
