Luton Town facing Fulham, Nice, Crystal Palace battle for key defender
Luton Town defender Teden Mengi is said to be of interest to Ligue 1 side Nice this summer amid links to Premier League duo Crystal Palace and Fulham.
That’s according to a report from Foot Mercato, who claim the French top flight outfit are eying up the Hatters man as a replacement for the seemingly departing Jean-Clair Todibo.
Todibo is said to have been of interest to both West Ham United and Juventus this summer, with the Premier League side already said to have had a €35m rejected.
Once the defender does leave, Nice are said to be considering Mengi as an alternative, with the former Manchester United man also said to be admired by Fulham and Crystal Palace after catching the eye in Town’s recent Premier League campaign.

With Todibo set to depart Nice and Tosin Adarabioyo already leaving Craven Cottage for Chelsea this summer, both clubs will need reinforcements in the centre of defence for the upcoming campaign.
Despite his side falling back into the Football League at the firs time of asking, Mengi offered plenty of encouraging signs after making the move to Kenilworth Road, as he featured in 30 of the Hatters’ matches in the top flight.
