Howe advised Newcastle Utd to turn all attention to sign £53m midfielder instead of Maddison

Newcastle United are reportedly looking to strengthen their midfield, and Khepren Thuram is reportedly a target for the Premier League team.

The French midfielder is a “relatively new name” on their list, according to The Telegraph. He “would fit the model” of what they’re looking for, which is talented young players.

Thuram is 22 years old and currently plays for Nice in Ligue 1. He is an important player for the club and has sparked interest from Liverpool and Newcastle.

Indeed, according to The Independent, Reds manager Jurgen Klopp sees the Frenchman as the right solution to their midfield woes.

According to the Telegraph, not every new acquisition will be able to have an immediate impact in the Newcastle first team. They’ll also include competition and cover.

Khephren Thuram is being pursued by Newcastle.

The midfielder, who is reputedly valued at £53 million, will undoubtedly attract interest until he finds a new club.

Nice will not rush to sell Thuram. This is because his contract does not end until June 2025.

Despite this, the Frenchman may demand a move in order to play for a Champions League team rather than a mid-table one.

Newcastle is desperate to add to their team. This is to ensure that they can compete in Europe as well as all domestic competitions the next season.

The “fantastic” midfielder would be an excellent signing for the Magpies. The player is the son of football star Lilian Thuram. The defender has previously played for both Juventus and Barcelona.

Newcastle have also been linked with the signing of Marcus Thuram. The attacking player is Khephren Thuram’s brother. At St. James’ Park, we might observe a family reunion.

Newcastle United will have an intriguing transfer window. They have moved from battling relegation to vying for signings with some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
