He has played in Metz's last three Ligue 1 fixtures, including a 2-0 defeat to Lyon last month.
N'Doram is currently on loan at Metz from AS Monaco, having already made 29 appearances for Leonardo Jardim's team.
He's been a key part of Metz's season so far, featuring in all but three of their 12 Ligue 1 matches.
The centre-back, who can also play as a holding midfielder, was linked with a move to Everton last year.
