The star of the Ligue 1 club has confirmed interest from top Premier League teams

Nice centre-back Jean-Claire Todibo has been linked with a move to the English Premier League for a long time now, but previously the media have been talking about it, and now the French club's leader himself has spoken out.

As Todibo himself has narrated, talks of a move to Manchester United and Tottenham do take place, but he himself doesn't really want to talk about them:

"Honestly, I don't want to talk about my future out of respect for the fans and the club as well. But we had a short conversation, of course. My ambition is to play in the best competitions in the world and be the best version of myself. To try to be the best defender, of course, that I can be," Todibo told The Telegraph.

The 24-year-old defender is believed by the media to be closer to a move to Manchester United as the Mancunians and Nice, who Todibo currently represents, are owned by the same company - Sir Jim Ratcliffe's INEOS.
