West Ham face missing out on the perfect Declan Rice replacement to Liverpool this summer, after a new Khephren Thuram claim surfaced.

Hammers boss David Moyes allegedly wants to bring the 22-year-old star to the London Stadium.
However, things weren’t looking good when it was claimed that Jurgen Klopp was trying to sign him.
West Ham were given some hope when the Reds signed Mac Allister from Brighton, but it seems as though that hasn’t deterred them in the race for Thuram…
West Ham could miss out on Khephren Thuram who’s now keen on Liverpool move
L’Equipe claim that the Nice star is the prime transfer target for Klopp, and the player himself has been ‘seduced’ by the idea of moving to Anfield in the summer transfer window.
The Nice midfielder is an unbelievably exciting talent and will 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.
Yahoo say he’s an explosive midfielder, whilst Liverpool website Empire of the Kop have labelled the French midfielder as a player with ‘unreal skill’, and they’re not wrong.
The Frenchman seems to be absolutely ideally suited for the intense nature of Premier League football.
Yahoo claims that Khephren Thuram will cost around €50 million (£42 million) this summer, and that would represent exceptional value for either Liverpool or West Ham.
Unfortunately for the Hammers though, it seems like the Merseyside outfit are in pole position to obtain the Nice midfielder’s signature this summer.
