Italian sports journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo is interested in joining West Ham United, contrary to previous reports.
Romano stated that West Ham had bid for Todibo, but the offer was rejected due to a disagreement over the price, which is still considered too high.Todibo, a 24-year-old France international, is a highly sought-after player, with several clubs interested in his services.
West Ham are reportedly assessing whether to make another bid for the £40million man, who is considered “the complete package” and “one of the most underrated CBs in Europe” by Jacek Kulig of Football Talent Scout.Romano’s report contradicts previous claims that Todibo was not interested in joining West Ham. The journalist told CaughtOffside, “I’m not aware that Jean-Clair Todibo wasn’t interested in a move to West Ham. I understand that West Ham were never going to bid for him without guarantees on the player side.
And though he was keen on the move, the problem was on the price – which is still considered too high.”Todibo’s potential signing would be a significant coup for West Ham, who have already secured two signings in Luis Guilherme and Wes Foderingham. Max Kilman is also set to join the Hammers from Wolverhampton Wanderers. Todibo’s addition would provide a significant boost to West Ham’s defense, which was a weakness last season.
The race for Todibo’s signature is still open, with several clubs interested, including Manchester United, Tottenham, and Arsenal. West Ham must act quickly to secure his services, or risk losing out to rival suitors.In conclusion, Fabrizio Romano’s report suggests that Jean-Clair Todibo is interested in joining West Ham United, despite previous claims to the contrary. West Ham must navigate the challenging transfer market to secure his signature, which would be a significant addition to their defense. With several clubs interested, the Hammers must act quickly to avoid missing out on this talented player.
