Tottenham have joined the race to sign Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo, as they prepare to strengthen their options at centre-back in the January transfer window.
Currently impressing at Nice, Todibo has drawn attention from top clubs, including Manchester United, Newcastle and Liverpool.
With Micky van de Ven sidelined due to injury and Cristian Romero suspended, Spurs coach Ange Postecoglou had to resort to makeshift defensive arrangements in their recent 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa. This scenario has heightened the urgency for defensive reinforcements.
Todibo, eager to move to the Premier League, seeks assurance of regular playtime to cement his place in France’s squad for Euro 2024.
While Tottenham already boasts a strong central defensive duo with Van de Ven and Romero, Todibo’s acquisition would significantly deepen their options.
Spurs are also considering alternatives like Lloyd Kelly from Bournemouth, Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace, and Jarrad Branthwaite from Everton.
The club’s new sporting director, Johan Lange, alongside chairman Daniel Levy, is poised to navigate the upcoming transfer window strategically.
