The report claims Spurs are “desperate” to reinforce their backline in January, and finding a new centre-back has become the “top priority” for the North London club.
Todibo is said to be “keen to move to the Premier League,” but will want “reassurances” regarding how much game time he would get at any prospective club, with a place in France’s Euro 2024 squad in his sights.
The 23-year-old has been attracting interest from the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool for some time now, and is thought “to be available for around £39m.”
Spurs are “ready to rival” anyone who chases Todibo, but “some of the best clubs in Europe” are also thought to be in pursuit.
Jean-Clair Todibo is a top-quality centre-half who would offer something a little different to what we have in Romero and van de Ven. £39m is a steal for an up-and-coming player like this, but I have a feeling the intense competition for his signature will send that price rising a lot higher.

Excellent center-half Jean-Clair Todibo would provide a little different option than Romero and van de Ven. For a young player like this, £39 million is a great deal, but I have a suspicion that the fierce competition for his services will drive that cost much higher.
