According to a report by Spanish outlet SPORT, Aston Villa are keeping a close eye on Borussia Monchengladbach striker and Tottenham Hotspur target Marcus Thuram, whose contract expires in the summer.
Only recently, it was reported that Antonio Conte’s side had their sights set on a move for the ‘world-class’ Frenchman in 2023. The £82,000-a-week frontman has 13 goals and 4 assists to his name in all competitions, as he is evidently having a stellar season in Germany.
And now, it seems as if Aston Villa are looking to prise Marcus Thuram away from not just Gladbach but Tottenham Hotspur’s hands as well.
Aston Villa are monitoring Tottenham target Marcus Thuram
The fact that Danny Ings, who left the Villains to sign for West Ham in January remains their top-scorer in the Premier League tells you all you need to know about how much their requirement for a brand-new goal threat up front.
However, Aston Villa fans will be delighted to discover that as per a report by SPORT that they have been ‘alerted’ by the uncertain future of Tottenham target Marcus Thuram.
But it is key to note that it has been mentioned that Unai Emery’s side will not only be competing with Spurs for his signature, but also the likes of Arsenal and Newcastle United, who has also been linked with PSG and Barcelona.
Marcus Thuram would be a superb coup for Unai Emery and Co.
At the World Cup especially, Lilian Thuram’s son showcased that he is so much more than just a No.9, wreaking havoc when operating as a wide forward as well.
Aston Villa could do with the addition of Marcus Thuram in their side, who could lead their attack singlehandedly, and that too, a lot more than Tottenham.
However, it must be said that Spurs are much better placed to sign the prolific goalscorer currently.
