£40 million player wants to join Tottenham Hotspur because he likes Ange Postecoglou’s playing style

Jean-Clair Todibo wants to join Tottenham Hotspur during the January transfer window.

This is according to TEAMtalk, which explains why Todibo wants to join Tottenham.

So, what has been said about Jean-Clair Todibo, the Tottenham Hotspur and Nice defender? Let us investigate.

Jean-Clair Todibo is interested in joining Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice in the January transfer window, according to TEAMtalk.

According to the report, Tottenham wants to complete a deal for Todibo as soon as possible and will move on to other defensive targets if they do not receive encouragement.

In the middle of the season, Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing the 23-year-old former Barcelona central defender. Newcastle United have been linked as well.

TEAMtalk adds that Todibo “is keen on the move” to Tottenham because of the wage boost and “uplift in status” that comes with a move to a Premier League club.

According to the report, the France international center-back is “also believed to be keen on the fact Ange Postecoglou has such an obvious way of trying to achieve success, and sources say understanding of a team ethic and a club vision will be key to him choosing his next club.”

TEAMtalk adds that Spurs could bid £40 million for Todibo, who has been described as a “complete package” defender, but the North London club wants to get a deal done quickly and not let negotiations drag on.

Jean-Clair Todibo may not be sold by Nice to Tottenham Hotspur in January.
I doubt Nice will sell Jean-Clair Todibo to Tottenham Hotspur in the January transfer window.

I doubt Spurs will be able to complete a deal for the defender in the middle of the season. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, I assume, will have to wait until the end of the season to welcome him.

This season, the 23-year-old has made 14 appearances for Nice in Ligue 1. In those games, the defender provided one assist.

Nice now sits in second position in Ligue 1 just five points behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain. I don’t think Les Aiglons will jeopardise their title hopes by selling Todibo for £40 million in January.
