Aston Villa are exploring a deal to sign West Ham United defender Jean-Clair Todibo this summer. Villa switched focus to Todibo after backing away from a move for Joel Ordonez. The change in direction came after Villa dropped their chase of Ordonez, encouraging the team to consider different defensive choices in the Premier League.
West Ham United have started discussions concerning Todibo following 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 hope to complete a move for a defensive reinforcement.
