No fewer than three Premier League clubs are keeping a close eye on the development of a key member of the defensive ranks at OGC Nice, according to reports.
The player in question? Jean-Clair Todibo.
As per a report from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano:
‘Understand Newcastle, Manchester United and Liverpool scouts were in attendance at Nice-Rennes game to monitor Jean Clair Todibo.’
This comes as the trio all give consideration to a summer offer for the Frenchman’s services.

Todibo, for those not aware, was once considered one of European football’s finest up-and-coming defenders, enough to earn him a move to Spain with Barcelona all the way back in 2018.
And Todibo has since gone on to enjoy a stellar stretch at the Allianz Riviera.
Amid mounting interest in his services from across the continent, though, the 23-year-old could be on the move once more in the summer, in the case of his €45 million price-tag being met.
