Two days ago, we relayed news from Italy that Tottenham Hotspur are ready to get ahead of Inter Milan and Juventus to sign Borussia Mönchengladbach’s Marcus Thuram.

Later that day, Bild reported the north London club are interested in the striker and it is possible for them to carry out a deal in January.

The Nerazzurri are observing the 25-year-old’s situation, while Tottenham have ‘come forward’ to secure his services.

That’s according to InterLive.it, who say the France international has been able to attract interest from other clubs, with ‘Juventus and Tottenham in particular’. He has managed 13 goals and four assists from 17 matches this season, and his deal runs down in 2023.

The Bundesliga star ‘remains a clear objective’ of Antonio Conte’s side and it’s explained that Spurs could in fact ‘succeed in offering’ him a four-year deal worth €5m per year, a figure which will be after tax.

Inter came close to signing Thuram in 2021, but the deal collapsed after he suffered a serious injury. The Nerazzurri are back again in the picture to sign the player but face a risk of ‘being sensationally mocked’ by their former manager, Conte, and his club.
