Liverpool want to bring in one of the biggest talents in the French league. Who is midfielder Khéphren Thuram?

Khephren Thuram is a name you will very likely hear more and more often. The talented Frenchman is the subject of interest from leading European clubs, led by Liverpool who have identified him as their transfer priority.

Thuram has been tracked by big clubs for some time now. However, in the past season he has shown that he can really use his talent on the pitch, thanks to which he has already made his debut for the French national team, where the competition is really tough.

The son of the famous Lilian Thurram and brother of striker Marcus, he came on for just one minute against the Netherlands, but more can be expected in the future.

The French midfielder, who was born in Reggio Emilia, Italy, has played 48 games this season, scoring 2 goals and making 8 assists. the 192 cm tall midfielder doesn’t have many weaknesses and apart from his excellent defensive work, he is not afraid to play up front, which can be seen in his statistics.

That’s why, according to L’Equipe, Liverpool have made him their No. 1 target after acquiring Alexis Mac Allister, which is logical with the departure of the trio of James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita. It is the midfield that Jürgen Klopp needs to strengthen if he wants to challenge for the top spot again.

Thuram has a contract with Nice, who finished 9th last season, until 2025. The French club can therefore wait for a good offer, which may not come only from the Reds.

However, according to English media, Chelsea are also interested in the skilful midfielder and no doubt other leading European clubs are monitoring Thuram’s development.

the 22-year-old Frenchman has also drawn attention to himself by being selected in the elite selection of the French league alongside Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi when he was voted into the Ligue 1 top eleven.
