West Ham and Marseille in reported Todibo loan talks

Marseille’s interest in Jean-Clair Todibo now comes with reported talks, if not yet a deal. Get French Football News, citing Foot Mercato, says Marseille and West Ham are discussing a loan and how much of the defender’s salary the French club would cover.

Todibo is also said to be willing to make a financial sacrifice to help the move happen. Marseille reportedly need departures before they can add players.

There is no reported agreement, and that need for departures remains a condition on any arrival.
