Tottenham are already 'set' for a 'bargain' summer transfer tussle over France striker Marcus Thuram, according to reports.
The Lowdown: Kane future uncertain...
Spurs star Harry Kane's future at the club is uncertain as things stand with the England international now well into the final 18 months of his contract.
The 29-year-old's deal expires in 2024, and while there has been noise of a potential renewal, nothing has been signed as things stand.
Tottenham may need to ponder replacements for Kane, or at the very least a back-up if they wish to keep chase with Premier League football's most elite sides.
The Latest: Spurs 'set' for 'bargain' Thuram tussle...
According to a report by AS, via Sport Witness, the Lilywhites are 'set' for transfer tussle to sign Borussia Monchengladbach star Thuram this summer.
Alongside Spurs, Liverpool, Atletico and Arsenal are displaying an interest in the 25-year-old who is available on a free deal as things stand.
Thuram's contract expires later this year, making him 'one of the bargains of the summer’, as per this update.
The Verdict: Fantastic player...
The 6 foot 4 powerhouse forward has been exceptional for Gladbach over 2022/2023, prompting his inclusion in France's 2022 World Cup squad for Qatar.
Thuram has already hit double figures for goals in the Bundesliga, scoring 10 with a further three assists domestically.
As per WhoScored, the Frenchman has also averaged Gladbach's highest rate of attempts at goal per 90 and sits just behind teammate Manu Kone in terms of completed dribbles.
Not only is he a physical presence going by his towering height, but it's clear by the numbers that Thuram is a constant and ever-present threat for the German side.
Vfl Wolfsburg sporting director Marcel Schafer heaped praise on Thuram, even after his season-long injury ruled him out for the majority of 2021/2022 - calling him 'world class'.
The attacker has proved that tag and we believe Spurs would indeed secure a bargain by signing him for free - if they can beat the competition.
