The Premier League is about to close three market moves that promise to shake up the landscape of English football, as reported by Fabrizio Romano, one of the most reliable journalists in transfer matters.
Jean-Clair Todibo to West Ham United:
French center-back Jean-Clair Todibo is on his way to London to join West Ham. According to Romano, Todibo, his agent, and West Ham's sporting director, Tim Steidten, are already flying to the English capital. The deal will be closed on a loan basis with a purchase obligation set at €40 million, including a resale clause. Todibo's medical check-up is already scheduled for today, meaning the deal is practically sealed.

Diego Carlos to Fulham:
Another defender changing clubs is Diego Carlos, who is on the verge of signing with Fulham. The Brazilian center-back has been approved by coach Marco Silva, indicating that negotiations are at an advanced stage. This move will also trigger an active search by Aston Villa to find a replacement, with Geertruida being one of the options on the list.

Emerson Royal to AC Milan:
Finally, Emerson Royal is very close to leaving Tottenham Hotspur to join AC Milan. The deal, which will amount to a total package of over €15 million, has been in the works since May, when the Brazilian player made it clear he wanted to join the Italian club, rejecting other offers. Emerson is already preparing to travel to Milan to finalize his transfer.
