Earlier today, we covered claims from Italy and France that Jean-Clair Todibo has decided to join West Ham United, after Juventus failed to find an agreement with OGC Nice.

It was also stated the Premier League side are looking to close a deal for the defender on Friday.

West Ham are on track to fulfil it, according to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.

He states the firm efforts made by West Ham on Thursday evening have ‘paid off’. Julen Lopetegui’s side have received a ‘big guarantee’ to secure the 24-year-old’s services this summer.

Juventus have shown keen interest in the Frenchman and he’s been waiting for them to find an agreement with the Ligue 1 side. That hasn’t happened because the terms offered by the Old Lady haven’t convinced Nice.

Earlier claims stated that the French club have accepted West Ham’s offer and this is now backed up by Di Marzio.

The deal to take the former Barcelona man to London is advanced as the journalist says he is scheduled to undergo medical tests with West Ham later today.
