West Ham United can confirm that Jean-Clair Todibo will complete a permanent transfer from OGC Nice on 1 July, as per the terms of the agreement with the Ligue 1 club.
The France international defender arrived last summer on an initial season-long loan, with an option to make the transfer permanent for an undisclosed fee.
Todibo, 25, made a total of 29 appearances in all competitions during the 2024/25 campaign. After seeing the middle of his season punctuated by injuries, Todibo returned to start 12 of the final 13 Premier League matches, including the impressive victories at Arsenal and Manchester United.
Meanwhile, Carlos Soler and Evan Ferguson will return to their respective parent clubs, Paris St Germain and Brighton & Hove Albion, following the end of their loan spells.
Soler, 28, joined in August 2024 and made 15 starts and 18 substitute appearances. The Spanish international midfielder scored one goal, in the 3-2 home win against Fulham in January - Graham Potter’s first Premier League win as Hammers boss.
Ferguson, 20, arrived in January from Premier League rivals Brighton & Hove Albion. The Republic of Ireland international striker made one start and seven substitute appearances during his time at the Club.
Everyone at West Ham United would like to thank Carlos and Evan for their contribution and commitment during their time at the Club, and wish them every success for the future.
