West Ham 'agree deal' with Nice for Jean Clair-Todibo

West Ham United have agreed a loan deal with OGC Nice for Jean Clair-Todibo, multiple reports have revealed.

The 24-year-old was previously a long-term target for Manchester United but a move to Old Trafford was ruled out after UEFA refused to authorise the switch, citing a concern that the deal would breach rules on multi-club ownership.

Juventus have also shown interest in Todibo this summer but reports in France, backed up by the Standard, state that West Ham have now agreed a loan deal with option to buy next summer for €32m (£26.8m).
