Aston Villa and Newcastle United are interested in signing the French international attacker Marcus Thuram at the end of the season.
The 28-year-old has impressed for Inter Milan, and he could be an excellent addition for both clubs.
According to a report from CaughtOffside, both teams are looking to improve the attacking unit, and they have identified Thuram as a target. The player helped Inter Milan push for major trophies, and he could help both teams improve.
Aston Villa is pushing for Champions League qualification, and they could be an attractive destination for the French international. The West Midlands club has put together a talented team, and they have a quality manager like Unai Emery as well. They will be hoping to compete in Europe regularly and fight for trophies. Signing another reliable attacker would be a wise decision. Ollie Watkins has not been at his best this season.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United need more depth in the attack. Yoane Wissa and Nick Woltemade are already being linked with moves away from the club. They have not been at their best in recent weeks, and Newcastle need an upgrade.
Thuram could be a solid signing
The 31-cap French international has the physicality and technical attributes for English football, and it will be interesting to see if he is willing to move to England.
Inter Milan will be hoping to fight for major trophies, and they need to keep their best players. The 28-year-old is a useful option for them in the attack. It will be interesting to see if they are prepared to sanction his departure.
There is no doubt that a move to the Premier League could be attractive for the international. He is at the peak of his career, and this could be the right time for him to try out a new challenge. Thuram has been linked with a move to the Premier League before as well. It remains to be seen whether he can finally secure the move.
