TOTTENHAM have reportedly joined Manchester United and Liverpool in the race for Jean-Clair Todibo.
Ange Postecoglou is desperate for new signings after seeing his side’s incredible start to the season fall away.
The Londoners were top of the table and unbeaten in their first 10 matches before facing rivals Chelsea at the start of the month.
But Spurs ended up with nine men on the field as they lost 4-1 at home.
The heartbreaking loss also saw them lose star players James Maddison and Mickey van de Ven to long-term injuries.
And with Tottenham going on to lose their next two games against Wolves and Aston Villa as well, Postecoglou is demanding reinforcements.
It’s reckoned the Aussie would love to boost his midfield and attacking options.
But he is also prioritising a new defender amid doubts over Eric Dier’s future.
And the Standard claims ‘Big Ange’ has identified Nice centre-back Todibo as his top target.
The 23-year-old, once of Barcelona, has helped his side to second place in Ligue 1 with some fine performances.

He has also become a regular at the back for Didier Deschamps’ France.
And Nice are believed to only be holding out for a bargain £39million fee.
Spurs also have interest in Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi, Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite and Bournemouth’s Lloyd Kelly.
But Todibo’s price tag and performances makes him the top choice right now.
However, the Frenchman is wanted by Liverpool and Man United, who will not make things easy for Spurs.
Todibo would also want guarantees of a regular starting spot, meaning one of Van de Ven or Romero would have to drop out of the XI.
And he’s said to be comfortable at Nice until the summer as they mount a surprise title bid.
