Aston Villa targets Jean-Clair Todibo after Joel Ordóñez move to Crystal Palace
Aston Villa is shifting its defensive recruitment strategy following the departure of Ezri Konsa to Arsenal and a change in direction regarding Joel Ordóñez. The club is reportedly exploring a deal for West Ham United defender Jean-Clair Todibo as a primary target.
Villa's pursuit of Club Brugge centre-back Joel Ordóñez appears to have concluded after the club expressed concerns over his fitness. Ordóñez is currently recovering from a metatarsal fracture sustained during the World Cup. Crystal Palace has reportedly agreed to a deal with Club Brugge to sign the 22-year-old defender for a fee of €30 million plus add-ons, subject to a medical.
