Saints to bring in Barcelona defender?

According to the Sunday People, Saints are looking to bring in 19-year-old centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo on a loan deal from Barcelona.

The report (cited by HITC) says that the Spanish giants would be willing to send their man out on a temporary deal in order to get him some top level experience in the 2019/20 season.

Frenchman Todibo started his career with Toulouse and joined Barcelona back in January for around £900k.

A loan move for an up and coming player who could make an impact in one season could make sense for Saints with funds said to be limited this summer.
