West Ham keep tabs on Marcus Thuram
West Ham have reportedly been eyeing a move for Borussia Monchengladbach attacker Marcus Thuram.
According to ExWHUemployee, the 24-year-old France international has been tracked by the East London outfit.
The Hammers are looking to sign a striker this summer and Thuram has emerged as one of the options for David Moyes’ side.
In his Patreon post, the Hammers insider discussed the club’s links with Alassane Plea, and gave Thuram a mention.
He wrote, “We have also watched his strike partner Marcus Thuram.”
Worth signing?
It’s no secret that we’re in desperate need of signing a striker and with Tammy Abraham off to AS Roma, we’re back to the drawing board in terms of narrowing in on a primary target.
At 24, Thuram’s the ideal age for a striker we must look to sign as he’s got a few years before he peaks and could lead the line for the next six to seven seasons.
The Gladbach forward is tall and bulky, but is still extremely strong and quick, giving him the perfect build for a modern-day Premier League striker.
He is the son of the iconic Lilan Thuram so he has big shoes to fill, and moving to the Premier League could be seen as a step taken in the right direction.
His teammate Denis Zakaria labelled him “phenomenal” in 2019 [Buli News], and we’re sure that he would be a success should the club decide to secure his signature this summer.
