West Ham United may find it hard to part ways with Jean-Clair Todibo.

The London Stadium is set to witness a whole host of player exits this summer after the Hammers were relegated to the Championship.

Among those likely to leave are Jarrod Bowen, Mateus Fernandes and Crysencio Summerville, all of whom have already been linked with moves away.

However, the future of Todibo is also one to keep an eye on after reports emerged regarding a bust-up between him and Nuno Espirito Santo.

Todibo will have his heart set on an exit, but it may be harder than expected to make that come to fruition.

Jean-Clair Todibo has done himself no favours

Todibo has not been an issue for West Ham on the pitch, but off of it, he certainly seems to have been.

It was claimed that the Frenchman told Nuno he would never play for him again, having previously fallen out with both Julen Lopetegui and Graham Potter.

His attitude is quite clearly something that needs to be banished from the training ground, but it may also impact his ability to secure a move.

Clubs will have been made well aware of the way he has handled situations with managers throughout his time here, and that will almost certainly put several suitors off at the thought of making a move for him this summer.

Todibo fall-out showcases West Ham’s biggest problem

Ability was never an issue for West Ham this season, and that will come to light when several of those who underperformed thrive elsewhere next season.

Instead, it was a lack of character, and a squad packed with players who couldn’t care less about what happened.

Todibo is just one of them, though there are likely to be many others who have been the cause of issues behind the scenes.

West Ham musta ddress that this summer, or else it could be another long, strenuous campaign in the Championship.
