Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the French international defender Jean-Clair Todibo.
A report from French publication L’Equipe (h/t GFFN) claims that Tottenham and Manchester United are keeping tabs on the 24-year-old defender and it remains to be seen whether Spurs decide to reactivate their interest in the player. They wanted to sign Todibo during the January transfer window.
The French international has shown his quality with OGC Nice and he has the ability to succeed in the Premier League as well. Although Tottenham have done well to improve their defence in recent months, they need to sign another quality central defender to complete their defensive unit for the foreseeable future.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can beat Manchester United to his signature this summer. The defender is entering the peak years of his career and he will want to compete at the highest level. A move to Tottenham would allow him to showcase his abilities in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, the North London club are hoping to secure Champions League qualification for the next season and they will be an attractive destination for the French defender if they manage to finish in the top four.
Both Manchester United and Tottenham have the financial resources to get the deal done, and it will be interesting to see where the Frenchman ends up.
Tottenham have put together an exciting squad and they will be hoping to compete for major trophies in the coming seasons. They need to improve further in order to match up to the Premier League elite. Someone like Todibo will help them tighten up defensively.
Meanwhile, Manchester United have been quite vulnerable defensively and they will have to tighten up at the back if if they want to compete for trophies. They need to sign a quality central defender with players like Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane linked with exits from the club. Todibo would be a superb addition for them.
