Newcastle make contact to sign Chelsea target Marcus Thuram
90min have reported that Newcastle, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Everton, Leicester City and West Ham United all are interested in signing Borussia Monchengladbach forward Marcus Thuram in the summer transfer window.
Newcastle have reportedly held talks with the representatives of the 25-year-old France international.
Thuram is out of contract at German club Monchengladbach at the end of the season.
HITC Verdict: Summer transfer could happen
In our view, Newcastle United could be able to sign Marcus Thuram ahead of Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
Yes, Chelsea are a big club, but Newcastle are massive as well and could end up in the Premier League top four this season.
Thuram will know that Newcastle are starting their grand project, and the chance to become a hero for the Magpies and be part of a club that are going places could be hugely tempting for the Frenchman.
The forward has made 22 starts and two substitute appearances in the Bundesliga so far this season.
Thuram has scored 12 goals and given three assists in those games.
