Marcus Thuram hasn’t done his chances of joining Liverpool any harm at all.

According to Express.de, the Reds have been looking at the £44 million-rated Borussia Monchengladbach attacker.

The Bundesliga side lost 3-1 to Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday afternoon, but the reported Liverpool target was on the scoresheet for his side.

Not only that, but it was a wonderful half-volley from the 22-year-old – son of France legend Lillian – that briefly got Monchengladbach back on level terms.

Here’s how fans of the Anfield club reacted to the goal on Twitter.

In terms of versatility, he’s right up Jurgen Klopp’s alley.

Not only can Thuram play as a number nine, but the attacker, who stands at 6’4, can also play on the left or right-hand side of attack [Transfermarkt].

Liverpool are reportedly in the market for another centre-forward amid speculation about a move for Leipzig hitman Timo Werner but it’ll be interesting to see if Thuram is a genuine target over the coming weeks and months.
