TOP STORY: Liverpool eye Thuram for midfield
Liverpool have made an approach to sign Nice midfielder Kephren Thuram, according to L’Equipe.
The 22-year-old has been on the radar of a number of Premier League clubs recently, but it is reported that the Reds are looking to position themselves at the front of the queue to land him as soon as the transfer window opens.
Jurgen Klopp’s side are understood to have been impressed when scouting him in Ligue 1, with belief that he would suit the club’s style of play, and having already met with his representatives, discussions are now taking place over a potential deal worth £52 million.
Following a disappointing season where Liverpool missed out on Champions League qualification, it looks as though they are keen to make a number of swift upgrades to their side, with Brighton‘s Alexis Mac Allister also linked with a switch to Anfield.
Thuram made 35 appearances in Ligue 1 this season, while making his debut for the France senior national team in March during a 4-0 win over the Netherlands. He is the son of Les Bleus icon Lilian Thuram and the younger brother of the Borussia Monchengladbach star Marcus Thuram.
