WEST HAM are set to sign Jean-Clair Todibo – after Manchester United were BLOCKED from signing the Nice star.
Todibo was linked with a move to United earlier in the window but it was ruled out by Uefa due to Ineos’ control over both teams.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos are the majority owners of the French club, but have now also taken control of United’s football operation.
Uefa had to run the rule on the clubs after both qualified for the Europa League, with fears over a potential breach of multi-club rules.
So United looked elsewhere in the market and signed Leny Yoro from Lille for £52million.
Meanwhile, West Ham and Juventus battled it out for Todibo.
And according to The Athletic, the Hammers won the race after agreeing a season-long loan with the option to buy.
Personal terms have also been struck with a medical now set.
