Todibo Exclusive: “The Hardest Deal I’ve Ever Done”
The deal to bring Jean-Clair Todibo to West Ham has been described as a “miracle” transfer by someone involved in the negotiations.
Claret & Hugh spoke this morning with both a high-ranking source at West Ham and a member of the negotiating team who participated in the deal.
One experienced agent, who has acted as an intermediary in multiple Hammers transfers, described the Todibo signing as “the hardest deal I’ve ever done.”
As revealed earlier on C&H, the player and his representative worked late into the night with the Hammers’ negotiating team to finalise the details of what has become a remarkable transfer.
Some of the biggest football clubs in the world were trying to sign the French central defender, so for West Ham to emerge victorious is a testament to all involved.
A top West Ham insider also spoke exclusively to C&H within the last hour, stating, “It’s a loan with an obligation, just allows us to spread payments a bit.”
It would be fair to say that everyone involved in the deal at the London Stadium is relieved to conclude a deal that at one point seemed like a non-starter.
Well done to all involved.
