West Ham United centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo has just absolutely raved about one of his teammates.
Jean-Clair Todibo has looked like a completely different player since Graham Potter took over as the new head coach of West Ham.
He has been so impressive recently that Manchester United apparently want to sign him this summer.
That said, it is still a concern that Jean-Clair Todibo is seemingly incapable of completing a full 90 minutes for West Ham.

Hopefully he will improve upon his fitness next term, after a full pre-season campaign with the Hammers.
And there is one other West Ham player in particular who has been in the same boat as Todibo this season when it comes to injuries.
Jean-Clair Todibo says West Ham fans don’t realise how good Niclas Fullkrug is
German striker Niclas Fullkrug joined West Ham from Borussia Dortmund back in the summer of 2024.
The 32-year-old has experienced terrible fitness problems this season, and has spent around five months on the sidelines due to Achilles and hamstring injuries.
However, he has played a key role for the Hammers during our last two games, after coming on as a second-half substitute in both of them.
Graham Potter even suggested that he could change his West Ham system because of Niclas Fullkrug’s qualities.
And now Todibo has just lauded his fellow Hammer.
The big Frenchman labelled Fullkrug as ‘world-class’, as quoted by WHUFC.com:
“Fulle is a world-class player, and I don’t think he has anything to prove in football. He’s already shown everyone just what a top striker he is.
“It’s great to have him back [following his recent three-month injury absence], and he’s going to help us. I don’t think people realise how good he is. He has everything, and his mentality is just unbelievable. He’s a real leader, and that’s just how he is naturally.“
Incredible thing Niclas Fullkrug did for West Ham teammate
The Germany international is not only a very good striker but he’s clearly a top human being as well.
Back when Michail Antonio was involved in a horrific road traffic accident back in December, Fullkrug was said to be inconsolable.
The German hadn’t known Antonio for long at the time, but was said to be deeply moved by what happened.
Niclas Fullkrug is the type of character we need at West Ham right now. He’s a real leader of men and is the sort of person you would want alongside you on the pitch and inside the dressing room.
The former Dortmund man will make a huge difference for us going forward, if he manages to maintain his fitness.
