Liverpool’s desperation to sign Khephren Thuram amplified by stellar performance (VIDEO)
Khephren Thuram continues to be a prominent figure in Liverpool’s transfer rumors this summer, and his recent performance at the U21 European Championships further validates the club’s eagerness to secure his services. Representing his country, Thuram played a pivotal role in France’s 2-1 victory over Italy, demonstrating precisely why Jurgen Klopp and the Liverpool hierarchy are keen to bring him to Merseyside.
In a standout moment during the first half with the score level at 1-1, the 22-year-old showcased his remarkable blend of strength, speed, and determination. Starting from just inside his own half, Thuram skillfully evaded the challenges of three Italian players, driving upfield with the ball at his feet. Despite appearing outnumbered near the opposition penalty area, he impressively played a precise pass wide to his teammate, ensuring the attack could progress.
Last season, Liverpool’s midfield often lacked the dynamism and energy exemplified by Thuram’s performance. It is evident that the OGC Nice midfielder possesses these crucial qualities in abundance, making him an ideal target for the club. According to Neil Jones, an established source, Thuram is the most probable player to be signed by Liverpool, with fellow French midfielder Manu Kone also linked to the club after his starting appearance alongside Thuram for Les Bleus.
