Tottenham Hotspur have opened talks to sign OGC Nice centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo (23), who is high on the Premier League club’s list of January targets, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Todibo has rebuilt his career at Nice following his failed stint at Barcelona, which saw him shipped out on successive loans across Europe. Alongside Dante, Todibo is part of the most successful defence in Ligue 1 this season. Francesco Farioli’s side have conceded just nine goals all season.
However, Les Aiglons may face a battle to retain the France international. As reported by Romano, Tottenham have opened talks over Todibo’s signing. He features high on Spurs’ list, although a deal has been described as “not easy.” The Premier League club also has spoken to Todibo’s entourage in recent days.
Tottenham may face competition from Manchester United, who are also interested in Todibo. The Red Devils could soon become affiliated with OGC Nice, once INEOS’ stake in the Premier League club has been confirmed.
