Dharmesh Sheth: West Ham discuss improved bid for int’l ace as first offer rejected

West Ham United are considering submitting an improved bid to sign Nice star Jean-Clair Todibo, according to Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth.

The Hammers had an initial £25.4 million bid rejected by the Ligue 1 side, but are still keen to secure the French international’s signature.Todibo, 24, is one of Europe’s brightest defensive talents, and West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui is eager to bolster his backline with the signing of the highly-rated center-back.

However, Nice are holding out for a higher price, and it may take a significant offer to persuade them to part with their prized asset.West Ham’s initial bid feels a bit lower than what Nice were expecting, and it’s likely that the Ligue 1 side will demand a higher price for Todibo’s services. With speculation surrounding the futures of Nayef Aguerd and Kurt Zouma, and a move for Max Kilman seeming difficult to pull off, West Ham may need to be prepared to spend big to get their man.

The Irons are discussing internally whether to return with an improved offer, and it’s clear that Lopetegui is keen to add Todibo to his squad. The Frenchman’s signing would be a significant coup for West Ham, and would provide a major boost to their defensive options.As the transfer saga unfolds, West Ham fans are eagerly awaiting news of a potential deal. The Hammers have been active in the transfer market already this summer, and the signing of Todibo would be a major statement of intent from the club.
