Fulham have made a £16.3m bid for Barcelona defender Jean-Clair Todibo as Scott Parker frantically looks to shore up his leaky defence with the transfer deadline fast approaching.
The 20-year-old has been linked with a Barcelona exit this summer, with the LaLiga club looking to raise funds in their pursuit of Manchester City centre half Eric Garcia.
Everton had been in the race to sign the Frenchman, but were reportedly reluctant to take the player permanently, with a loan deal preferred for the Toffees.
Carlo Ancelotti's side have since swooped for Norwich defender Ben Godfrey, leaving the door open for Premier League newcomers Fulham to make a move for the defender.
