The 19-year-old Frenchman joined Toulouse in 2016 and made his first-team debut earlier this season. The central defender has made 10 appearances, all as a starter, and scored in the team’s 1-1 draw at Rennes in September.
Todibo is known for his good ball technique and can also play in the midfield. The tall defender is considered a threat on set pieces.
He has played for France’s under-20 team.
