Jean-Clair Todibo would bring Roberto De Zerbi what the Marseille defence has been looking for since the departure of several key players: pure pace in the last line of defence and a long passing range capable of breaking opposition lines. His technical toolkit is a perfect fit for a system where the defensive line pushes high and must cover large spaces behind it.
From a sporting standpoint, this reinforcement would allow OM to secure the central axis without sacrificing the aggressiveness that characterises the Phocaean press. The most delicate obstacle now remains: convincing West Ham to part ways with a player whose value has risen sharply since his transfer, which points to a tight negotiation over the fee.
