‘One of the most underrated CBs in Europe’ is now ready to join Tottenham in January for just £35m
Jean-Clair Todibo has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur this week, and the Nice defender is open to joining Spurs.
It is anticipated that Ange Postecoglou’s team would add a new center-half during the January transfer window. They require backup, and yesterday Fabricio Romano identified Todibo as a specific target. 90min now discusses some further news on the subject.
Jean-Clair Todibo is open to joining Tottenham
Tottenham have an amazing first-choice centre-back pairing in Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven.
The Argentine is their best defender, while the Dutch international, who only joined Spurs in the summer transfer window, is also a terrific player.
However, with Van de Ven still out with an injury, Romero might receive a red card in every game. Because of this, Ange Postecoglou has occasionally been obliged to start Ben Davies and Emerson Royal at the back.
January needs a new center back, and Romano disclosed yesterday that Tottenham has begun negotiations to sign Jean-Clair Todibo.
Now, 90min report that Todibo and his representatives are open to a transfer to Tottenham, even if Nice aren’t too keen on moving their star defender.
Additionally, the publication has allegedly been informed by intermediaries that a deal may be reached in the January transfer window for a cost of £35 million.
One of the most underrated defenders in Europe
Despite spending two and a half years at Barcelona, Frenchman Jean-Clair Todibo only made five appearances for the Spanish champions.
Todibo joined Nice permanently in the summer of 2021 following loan stints in Germany, Portugal, and France, and he has been fantastic for them ever since.
The 23-year-old’s efforts this year have garnered him a great deal of acclaim.Todibo is “the complete package” and “one of the most underrated CBs in Europe at the moment,” according to Football Talent Scout’s Jakek Kulig.
He is just the kind of defender Tottenham needs, therefore Ange Postecoglou’s team is thrilled that he is amenable to a move.
