Tottenham have reportedly been in talks with the agent of Borussia Monchengladbach forward Marcus Thuram.

Daniel Levy and Fabio Paratici could well be busy over the coming weeks, looking to bolster Antonio Conte’s squad in the winter transfer window.

A new forward is on the agenda, with reports suggesting that a ‘surprise’ move for Thuram could be on the cards. Thuram is out of contract at the end of the season, and it looks as if he is becoming a wanted man heading into 2023.

The Latest: Contact made

According to 90min, Inter Milan are trying to win the race for Thuram ahead of numerous Premier League sides and are readying a contract offer for the Frenchman.

Spurs are one of five top-flight clubs named and have reportedly been in contact with Thuram’s representatives.

The Verdict: Shrewd move?

Thuram, labelled 'a little crazy' by former team-mate Denis Zakaria, can play anywhere across the front three and is primarily a centre-forward.

The 25-year-old impressed on the biggest stage by helping France come from behind to take the World Cup final to extra time, registering an assist for Kylian Mbappe.

He’s contributed to 67 goals in 119 games for his current employers, so a cut-price move could be a shrewd one to rival Harry Kane and Spurs’ plethora of attacking talent.
