So that may well leave the door open for West Ham to sign the 22-year-old Nice star. The East London outfit allegedly want to bring the 22-year-old star to the London Stadium.
David Moyes has a lot of work to do this summer, with Declan Rice set to leave the Hammers to join Arsenal.
Thuram would be the perfect replacement for Dec, and now it seems like the East London outfit could have a good chance of bringing him to the club this summer…
Great news for West Ham as Liverpool make big decision on Khephren Thuram
Ben Jacobs reckons that the Reds are no longer interested in the Frenchman, having completed the signing of Dominik Szoboszlai.
Please West Ham make a move! There is no better player out there to come in and replace Dec in my opinion.
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 possesses all of the attributes that Declan Rice has apart from the Englishman’s ability to wriggle out of tight spaces with the ball.
However, he is only 22, and has plenty of time left to improve that particular skill.
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.
If West Ham have a chance to sign Khephren Thuram after Liverpool’s decision, then Moyes cannot afford to hesitate.
