Early life

Todibo was born in French Guiana and grew up in the northeastern suburbs of Paris. At nine years old, he was struck by a motor vehicle with doubts he would walk again, let alone play football. [4] He eventually made a full recovery and continued playing with Les Lilas, the club which signed him at six years old. [4]

Club career

Toulouse

Todibo left Les Lilas for Toulouse in 2016. [5] He made his Ligue 1 debut on 19 August 2018 against Derby de la Garonne rivals Bordeaux, playing 89 minutes in an eventual 2–1 home win. On 1 September, he was sent off in 26 minutes of a 2–1 win at Guingamp. [6] He played ten games for the club and scored once, a late equaliser on 30 September in a 1–1 draw at Rennes. [7]

Barcelona

On 8 January 2019, Todibo reached an agreement with Barcelona which would see him join them on a free transfer in July 2019, when his contract with Toulouse was due to expire. [8] However, the Spanish side pushed the transfer forward and he joined the club on 31 January 2019. He became the 22nd French player to sign for Barcelona and was handed the number 6 shirt. [9] He made only four appearances total for Barcelona. [4]

Loan to Schalke 04

On 15 January 2020, Todibo was loaned to Bundesliga club Schalke 04 until the end of the season with a buy option for €25 million, plus €5 million in add-ons. [10] In March, Todibo was named Schalke's Player of the Month which was voted by the fans. [11]

Loan to Benfica

On 5 October 2020, Todibo joined Primeira Liga club Benfica on a one-year loan with an option to purchase for €20 million. [12]

Nice

On 1 February 2021, Todibo joined Ligue 1 club Nice on loan with an option to buy after his loan contract was mutually terminated by Barcelona and Benfica. [13] On 27 June, the move was made permanent by the club as they paid €8.5m (+ €7m in variables) to Barcelona. Barcelona also reserved rights to a percentage of his future sale. [14]

On 18 September 2022, he was sent off in a match against Angers after nine seconds, the fastest red card in Ligue 1 history. [15]

West Ham United

On 10 August 2024, Todibo signed for Premier League team West Ham United on loan for the 2024–25 season. [16] The deal reportedly includes an obligation to buy at the end of the season for €40 million. [17] [18]
