The reported Tottenham Hotspur target was on the wrong side of a 9-0 demolition.
It’s probably a good thing that reported Tottenham Hotspur target Marcus Thuram isn’t a defender, like his father.
If he was, the 21-year-old’s confidence and morale might be in the toilet right around now.
Reported by The Sun to have admirers from Tottenham and Arsenal, Thuram, the son of France legend Lillian, was on the receiving end of a 9-0 demolition by Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday.
The Guingamp striker played 90 minutes at Parc des Princes, but thankfully was at the other end of the field and therefore he couldn’t have contributed to the onslaught all that much.
Thuram’s team are rooted to the foot of the Ligue 1 table, but the reported Spurs target has still managed seven goals in 17 starts nonetheless – a decent return all things considered.
They’re in serious trouble and you wonder whether Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino should try and sign him this month, rather than wait until the summer.
By then he could have a lot more suitors, and Thuram, who only has 18 months left on his contract, would have a better chance of playing for the North Londoners this season by virtue of the fact that Harry Kane is out until March at the earliest.
