Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is reportedly weighing up four January transfer targets to bolster Ange Postecoglou’s defensive ranks. Injuries to centre-backs Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven have decimated Spurs’ form and sent them tumbling down the Premier League table.<\/p>\n
The partnership of Romero and Van de Ven was one of Postecoglou’s breakthrough discoveries in his first few weeks at the helm. His haul of 26 points from a possible 30 marked the best start of any manager making their first foray into Premier League football, but results have nosedived due to a spate of recent injury blows.<\/p>\n
According to the Evening Standard, Postecoglou has tasked Levy with recruiting a centre-back early in the January window. OGC Nice star Jean-Clair Todibo is believed to be the top priority, which could lead to a transfer battle with Manchester United.<\/p>\n
Liverpool are also believed to be interested in the 23-year-old, with a \u00a339million scrap for his signature threatening to erupt once the winter window swings open.<\/p>\n

But like Todibo, the defender’s services are highly coveted and he could cost in excess of \u00a350m.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Jean-Clair-Todibo-France-5089361.jpg?r=1701173947304\")
