Liverpool have “started discussions” regarding a £25.57 million transfer for a player described as a “one-man army,” according to TuttoJuve.
Liverpool have reportedly begun talks with Nice about the potential transfer of Khephren Thuram. According to TuttoJuve, several Premier League clubs are monitoring the Ligue 1 midfielder as the summer transfer window approaches on June 14.
Thuram, while capable of playing in a defensive midfield role, is more commonly utilized in a slightly advanced position. His statistical profile suggests his strengths are in the offensive half of the field. He ranks in the 84th percentile for expected goals (xG) and expected assists (xAG), and even higher for progressive carries (93rd percentile) and successful take-ons (92nd percentile), according to FBref.
Despite his evident talent, Thuram may not be the exact solution to the key issue facing Liverpool’s recruitment team this summer. Therefore, this report should be taken with some skepticism.
