Chelsea and Newcastle United are keen on signing French international defender Jean-Clair Todibo, a target for Manchester United.
A report from Fichajes has claimed that Chelsea and Newcastle United are keen on signing Jean-Clair Todibo, who has been outstanding for OGC Nice in recent months. He has established himself as one of the best defenders in Ligue 1 and is also a target for Manchester United.
Chelsea will have to start planning for a future without Thiago Silva. The Brazilian is in the twilight stages of his career, and Jean-Clair Todibo would be a quality long-term replacement. He is only 23 and is already operating at a high level. He is likely to improve further with coaching and experience. Pochettino could help him develop into a top-class defender.
The opportunity to move to the Premier League can be an attractive option, and the player is likely to be tempted if there is a concrete proposal on the table. He previously failed to prove himself at a big club like Barcelona and will be hungry to showcase his worth at the highest level.
Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they have the financial resources to get the deal done as well. Meanwhile, Newcastle United will have to sign a quality long-term partner for Sven Botman.
The Dutchman has established himself as a key player for Newcastle United ,and he will need a reliable partner alongside him. Fabian Schar and Dan Burn are in their thirties, and they will need to be replaced soon. Jean-Clair Todibo would be a quality acquisition for the Magpies.
Newcastle United are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world, and they have the financial resources to sign the French international as well. They managed to secure Champions League qualification this season and if they finish in the top four once again, they will be an attractive destination for the 23-year-old defender.
Meanwhile, both clubs could face competition from Manchester United, who have been linked with the 23-year-old as well. The Red Devils might need to replace Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane next year, and Jean-Clair Todibo seems like a quality alternative. It remains to be seen where the French international defender ends up eventually.
