West Ham sign Nice defender Todibo on loan

West Ham United have completed the signing of Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo on an initial season-long loan deal with the option to buy the Frenchman for £34.22m (40m euros) in 2025.

Julen Lopetegui's side saw off competition from Italian club Juventus to sign Todibo, who has two senior caps for France.

"It is a dream come true to play in the Premier League, the best league in the world," said Todibo.

BBC Sport understands the Hammers hope to sign Manchester United's Aaron Wan-Bissaka to further bolster their defence, with talks progressing well in recent days.

The full-back was left out of Manchester United's squad for Saturday's Community Shield fixture against Manchester City at Wembley. Erik ten Hag said on Thursday that the defender was an injury doubt.
