Liverpool are still showing a strong interest in signing Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram this summer, according to a new report from France.

The Reds have already completed a key piece of transfer business, bringing in Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton in a rumoured £35m move, but their midfield additions can’t end there.

Thuram has arguably been linked with a move to Anfield more than anyone of late, with the 22-year-old enjoying an impressive season for Nice, starting 30 matches in Ligue 1 and also featuring four times in the UEFA Europa Conference League.

According to Get French Football News, “talks continue” between Liverpool and Thuram over a move to Merseyside, as the Reds look to seal their second piece of significant summer business.

1.5 tackles per match in Ligue 1 last season and is arguably at his most effective in a left-sided No.8 role in a midfield-three, suggesting that he could be on that side and Mac Allister could excel on the right, dovetailing with the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah like Henderson used to so well in his prime.

Thuram would be coming in as both an immediate key starter and a future star at Liverpool, hopefully proving to be an invaluable member of the team for many years to come, playing a major role in the midfield rebuild.

If the Reds could then also bring in someone like Manu Kone or Romeo Lavia, for example, it would complete a hugely effective summer in the market, at a time when big money needs to be spent after some barren windows in the past.
