Nice defender Todibo remains open to EPL move amid Chelsea and Man United links

Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo has revealed he is yet to make a decision on a potential move to the Premier League in the summer amid being linked with moves to Chelsea and Manchester United.

The Frenchman has starred for his team this season with Nice currently second in the Ligue 1 standings, but still 11-points adrift of leaders Paris Saint-Germain.

Todibo was tipped for a potential transfer to the English top-flight last year and a move to Man United could now be easier to conduct given Nice owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe's recent investment in the English giant's.

The 24-year-old is enjoying his strongest season in France since moving to the club from Barcelona three-years previous and has starred with impressive defensive performances to help the club keep 11 league clean sheets this season.

Todibo has now given an update on his future ahead of the summer transfer window opening and clarified his situation to avoid giving 'false hope' to Nice supporters and any interested parties.

'I am at Nice and we're having a great season. I don't have my head elsewhere. If I did it would be difficult for me personally and for the group too.

'I feel really good at Nice. We'll see what happens in the summer but we're not there yet. I don't want to get ahead of myself. I don't want to give false hope. For now, I'm here at Nice.'

'Football moves quickly, you never know what's going to happen. I'll wait until the summer to make my decision.

'If my decision is to stay, I'll announce it, if it is to leave, I'll announce it too and I'll thank everyone, but we're not there yet.'

Todibo has significantly improved in the south of France since joining from Barcelona following a spell in Barcelona that saw his first-team opportunities limited.
