Tottenham Hotspur has wasted no time in the January transfer window, securing the services of German sensation Timo Werner on loan from RB Leipzig, with a tantalizing option to make it permanent come summer. Adding to the defensive arsenal, central defender Radu Dragusin has permanently joined the squad from Serie A side Genoa.

Despite these impressive acquisitions, the hunger for defensive prowess at Spurs remains insatiable. The club is reportedly eyeing another center-back to solidify their backline, even after the arrival of the towering 21-year-old Dragusin. With the likes of Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Emerson Royal, and Ben Davies in their defensive ranks, Tottenham is now in pursuit of a fourth natural center-back.

In an ambitious move, Tottenham is in talks to sign Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice, as per reports from French outlet Telefoot. Daniel Levy, the club’s chairman, is actively backing manager Ange Postecoglou in the transfer market. Talks with Todibo’s representatives have already taken place to assess the feasibility and cost of a potential deal.

However, the competition is fierce, with Premier League rivals Chelsea and Serie A champions Napoli also expressing interest in the 24-year-old defensive titan. Nice values Todibo at a staggering €60m (£51m), making it clear that they are not willing to part with him before the current transfer window closes. This implies that Tottenham, along with their rivals, may have to exercise patience and wait until the end of the season to secure Todibo’s coveted services.

While Daniel Levy is laying the groundwork for a potential summer agreement, it appears that Spurs fans will have to wait for the grand unveiling of their defensive maestro. The pursuit continues, adding an air of suspense and anticipation to Tottenham’s January transfer saga.
