Aston Villa are looking into a deal to sign West Ham United defender Jean-Clair Todibo this summer. Villa switched focus to Todibo after cooling interest in a move for Joel Ordonez. The change in direction came after Villa abandoned their pursuit of Ordonez, leading the board to consider different defensive choices in the Premier League.
West Ham United have opened talks concerning Todibo amid growing interest from top-flight clubs. The London club is addressing interest from Premier League rivals during the current transfer period. Villa are monitoring Todibo as they look to complete a move for a defensive reinforcement.
