West Ham come up with an improved offer to overtake Juventus for dream signing

Last month, it was revealed that West Ham have set their sights on signing Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo this summer. The Hammers even had a deal agreed with Nice to secure the signature of the 24-year-old centre back.

A dream prospect of a centre back pairing of summer signing Max Kilman and Jean-Clair Todibo was exciting until Juventus registered their interest in Todibo. Juventus had already signed Todibo's Nice teammate Khephren Thuram and the idea of joining the Italian giants led Todibo to wait for Juve before agreeing personal terms with any club.

Thus, it became obvious that the Frenchman is heading to Italy instead of the Premier League. And a few days ago, Juventus came up with a loan offer and a mandatory buy option to sign Todibo for around £25 million. With that, Todibo to West Ham seemed over, however, the Hammers have made a comeback.

According to Gazetta Dello Sport, West Ham have come with a much improved offer to overtake Juventus and increase hopes of signing Todibo. And like before, Nice are said to be open to selling the player to West Ham as their offer is better than Juventus currently.

Although, there are still slim chances that West Ham complete this signing as Juventus can return with another offer that will be enough to land Todibo this summer. However, one thing is sure that West Ham are finally showing their intent in the transfer window with only a month to go before the June transfer window closes.

This approach has proved to be successful with West Ham signing Cryscencio Summerville from Leeds United recently. Also, the Hammers are closing to finalize the signing of Aaron Wan-Bissaka as well.

Hence, chances are very high that West Ham assemble a quality squad before the start of the upcoming Premier League season.
