Talented defender Jean-Clair Todibo, currently making waves with Nice in Ligue 1, has yet to finalize his decision regarding a potential move to the Premier League this summer.
Despite persistent links with Chelsea and Manchester United, Todibo remains focused on his current season with Nice, who currently stand second in the Ligue 1 standings.
The 24-year-old, enjoying a stellar season in France since his move from Barcelona three years ago, has been a crucial part of Nice's defensive success, contributing to 11 clean sheets in the league.
