Ndicka is an academy graduate of Auxerre and made his senior debut for the club in January 2017, aged 17. He spent the next season-and-half at the club, making 14 senior appearances before joining Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt in July 2018.

Early life

edit

Ndicka was born in Paris to a Cameroonian father and an Ivorian mother.[4][5]

Club career

edit

Auxerre

edit

Having joined Ligue 2 side Auxerre at the age of 13, Ndicka progressed through the club's academy and made his professional debut on 27 January 2017, starting in a 1–0 win over Clermont.[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".[20]

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 Diomède in March 2017.[21][22] He then went on to play for every French youth squad up to the Under-21 national team.[23]

In June 2023, he officially switched his allegiance to Ivory Coast,[24] subsequently receiving his first official call-up by the senior national team for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualification match against Zambia;[25][26] however, he was eventually forced to withdraw from the squad, due to bureaucratic issues.[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]
