AS Roma: Evan Ndicka, the defender with a striker's instinct

Ivorian center-back Evan Ndicka continues to make waves in Serie A. Scoring once again this Sunday, he's now found the net for a third consecutive match in AS Roma colors.

Evan N'Dicka and Roma had to battle hard to secure victory against Genoa. Trailing on the scoreboard, the Giallorossi relied on their central defender to get back into the game. Evan Ndicka struck the equalizer (1-1), giving his team the momentum to go on and claim the win.

This latest goal further cements the excellent run of form for the Ivorian defender. In his last three appearances, he’s scored three goals—a rare achievement for a center-back. He had already found the net against Juventus and then Cremonese before repeating the feat against Genoa. With three goals in his last three outings, Ndicka is showing an unexpected clinical edge for a central defender.

A defender becoming more and more complete

Known for his defensive solidity, strength in duels, and quality in building from the back, the former Eintracht Frankfurt player is now developing a real striker’s instinct, especially on set pieces. This attacking progress has caught the eye of several European observers. According to various reports, FC Barcelona is closely monitoring the Ivorian defender, impressed by his profile.

This current streak could further boost his value on the European transfer market, as several clubs continue to track his progress. For a center-back, scoring three goals in three matches is a rare feat, and Ndicka is proving that he can now make an impact far beyond his defensive duties.
