Evan N’Dicka prefers a move to England over Italy this summer, according to Arena Napoli, acting as a boost to Liverpool.
The Reds were linked with the Eintracht Frankfurt star earlier in the week, with Arsenal also believed to be eyeing him up.
While a switch to Serie A has been mooted, it appears as though N’Dicka, who is valued at £22.5m, is keen on playing in the Premier League.
The 20-year-old has made 14 starts in the Bundesliga this season, also scoring once in the Europa League.

I see N’Dicka as an ideal fourth-choice centre-back for Liverpool next season, assuming Dejan Lovren moves on. At 20, N’Dicka is unlikely to be demanding regular first-team action, acting as an understudy to Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip.
The Croatian may leave this summer, meaning the Reds will need a tailor-made replacement.
N’Dicka has enough experience – 56 league appearances in Ligue 2 and the Bundesliga – to slot in when required. However, his job could be to act as a solid squad player to begin with, maturing over time and hopefully becoming more prominent in Liverpool’s back-line in the years to come.
