Early life[]
Club career[]
Auxerre[]
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.[5][6] He signed his first professional contract with the club on 5 February.[5] 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.[7]
Eintracht Frankfurt[]
On 5 July 2018, Ndicka signed for Eintracht on a five-year deal.[8] He quickly became an important member of the first-team squad and featured regularly for the club in the league and the Europa League. 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.[9][10] From then, he missed only one match for the remainder of the season as the club narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification.[11]
International career[]
Ndicka was born in France and is of Cameroonian descent.[12] He 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.[13][14]
