West Ham surely now have no chance of signing Khephren Thuram, with Liverpool reportedly having agreed terms to sign him.
According to a report from Football Transfers, Liverpool have opened dialogue with West Ham target Khephren Thuram ahead of a proposed summer move to Anfield.

Football Transfers reckon that the 22-year-old Nice midfielder has verbally agreed personal terms with the Reds, although the two clubs are still yet to agree on a fee.
The Ligue 1 outfit are believed to be demanding a whopping £53 million for Thuram.
And Hammers boss David Moyes allegedly wants to bring him to the London Stadium.
However, that now seems to be completely out of the question…
Liverpool agree terms with West Ham target Khephren Thuram
The ultra-talented Frenchman has agreed personal terms with the Reds according to Football Transfers.
All that remains is for the two clubs to settle on a fee for the 22-year-old.
Missing out on Thuram would be a massive shame for West Ham – he would have been the perfect replacement for Declan Rice.
The Nice midfielder is an unbelievably exciting talent and would be a sensational addition for whichever club wins the race for his signature.
In 35 Ligue 1 games for Nice this season, the Frenchman bagged two goals and four assists. During those appearances, the 22-year-old averaged 1.5 tackles and 1.1 interceptions per match. He made 37.7 passes per game on average and recorded an impressive completion rate of 86.9% (Who Scored).
He has the 10th most progressive carries per 90 minutes out of all Ligue 1 midfielders this term (Euro Expert), and has been described as an amazing player by Total Football Analysis.
The Frenchman has everything required to be a huge success in the Premier League.
Unfortunately for West Ham though, it seems like he’ll be playing for Liverpool next season rather than us. The thing is, Moyes should have moved to sign Thuram quicker – either in January or last summer.
And that inaction has clearly now cost us the chance to bring him to the London Stadium. The West Ham boss will be absolutely kicking himself.
