Tottenham manager Antonio Conte may have received a timely boost in his chase for a world-class centre-back signing amid an emerging update involving Eintracht Frankfurt's Evan Ndicka.

The Lowdown: Spurs moving...

The start of this summer's transfer window has arguably been Spurs' most electrifying of the last decade, with three major signings having already been confirmed by mid-June.

Barely a fortnight into the window, sporting director Fabio Paratici has sealed the captures of Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster and Yves Bissouma ahead of Conte's first full Premier League season in charge in N17.

More arrivals are in the pipeline as Tottenham allegedly keep up the chase for a central defensive upgrade.

The Latest: Tottenham favourites to sign Ndicka...

According to Foot Mercato, there has been a very promising update involving Bundesliga colossus Ndicka.

Indeed, as per their information, north London appears to be the most likely destination for the Eintracht Frankfurt defender, with Tottenham now entering 'pole position' for his signing.

The Verdict: Finalise the move?

A brand new target for Conte and Paratici, we believe it is no surprise that Ndicka has entered Spurs' sights.

As per WhoScored, the 22-year-old finished the most recent campaign as Eintracht Frankfurt's third-best performer by average match rating, whilst also winning more aerial duels and making more clearances per match than any of his team-mates.

Still quite young and barely near his peak, Ndicka has already displayed real reliability and assurance at the back, leaving little wonder he played the second-most Bundesliga minutes for his club last season behind goalkeeper Kevin Trapp (WhoScored).

The mainstay defender has also been revered by members of the media, with journalist Christopher Michel calling him an 'exciting complete package'.

On top of all this, Ndicka employs the same representatives as Bissouma, who recently joined Spurs - perhaps handing Paratici and co an advantage in this transfer race.

Tottenham should certainly open talks and discuss the terms of a possible move for the French starlet.
