Aston Villa are looking into a deal to sign West Ham United defender Jean-Clair Todibo this summer. Villa turned their attention to Todibo after cooling interest in a move for Joel Ordonez. The shift in focus came after Villa dropped their chase of Ordonez, leading the board to consider different defensive choices in the Premier League.
West Ham United have held initial talks concerning Todibo amid growing interest from top-flight clubs. The London club is dealing with interest from Premier League rivals during the current transfer period. Villa are monitoring Todibo as they seek to complete a move for a defensive reinforcement.
