Khephren Thuram is a player that is still being connected with a summer transfer to Liverpool, but based on his performance at the U21 European Championships tonight, it appears that his whole concentration is on leading his nation to victory.
At the Cluj Arena in Romania tonight, the youthful French team defeated their Italian opponents 2-1 to start their campaign off on the right foot. The rumored Liverpool target demonstrated just why Jurgen Klopp and company are anxious to get him to Merseyside before next season.
The 22-year-old received the ball close inside his own half during the first half, and with the score tied at 1, he used strength, speed, and tenacity to defeat three Italy players and advance up field.
Despite appearing to be outnumbered as he entered the opponent’s penalty area, he managed to play the ball wide to his colleague to continue the attack.
Legs and vitality are two crucial qualities that were significantly lacking from our midfield throughout most of last season, but it is abundantly evident that the OGC Nice player possesses those qualities.
While Thuram’s fellow countryman Manu Kone, who started in midfield for Les Bleus tonight, has also been connected, Neil Jones recently told Caught Offside that the dynamic midfielder is the ‘likeliest’ player to be signed next.
