Telefoot have claimed that Nice have now decided that they would only sell Tottenham target Jean-Clair Todibo for a club-record fee.
It was widely reported at the start of this month that Todibo was Tottenham’s top centre-back target for the current window but Ange Postecoglou’s men turned their attention to Radu Dragusin after Nice were dragging their feet during the negotiations (TEAMtalk).
Over the past couple of weeks, it has been suggested by various French outlets that the North London side could return for the 24-year-old centre-back next summer (RMC Sport).
Telefoot have named Tottenham as one of three clubs who are on the France international’s trail, stating that the Lilywhites, Chelsea and Napoli have all spoken to the player’s entourage.
However, the publication says that the Ligue 1 club have now decided that they ‘absolutely want to keep him’ at the club until the end of the season.
The report adds that given how well Todibo has performed recently, Nice are now confident that they can get a club-record fee for the centre-back.
Some sources such as Nice-Martin had recently put the French club’s valuation of the Tottenham target at €60m (£51.4m).
Spurs Web Opinion
With Postecoglou now having three top-class centre-backs at his disposal, I would be quite surprised if Spurs were willing to spend £50m on another central defender next summer.
I believe that Tottenham will likely sign a young centre-back with potential rather than someone who is a proven performer in one of Europe’s top five leagues. There is also the possibility of one of Ashley Phillips or Alfie Dorrington being promoted if Ange feels they are ready.
