West Ham defender Jean-Clair Todibo has been at the centre of speculation since the arrival of new manager Nuno Espirito Santo.

The Hammers’ £35 million centre-back has not featured in either of Nuno’s first two games as head coach — and hasn’t even made the bench.

Todibo has not featured for West Ham under Nuno

There were initial rumours that the Frenchman was unfit to play, but he was pictured in training sessions both before and after the Everton game. Claret & Hugh’s training ground source has reported that the former Barcelona man has been training with the rest of the group, which has only fuelled further suspicion that he may not be part of Espirito Santo’s long-term plans at West Ham.

Transfer Interest Mounts

Only today, football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano indicated there is interest in Todibo, with a possible January move on the cards.

However, late last night, Claret & Hugh spoke with a source close to the player who insisted he has no intention of leaving West Ham. For the second time in a week, the message was clear: “Jean-Clair Todibo will be in the team soon, don’t worry about that.”
