Chelsea 'join the race to sign highly-touted Borussia Monchengladbach forward Marcus Thuram'

Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Borussia Monchengladbach forward Marcus Thuram.

Thuram's contract with the Bundesliga club expires in June, and a number of clubs including Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Aston Villa are said to be interested in signing the 25-year-old following the expiration of his deal.

But according to a report from Foot Mercato, Thurman could be on the move to Stamford Bridge before his current deal expires at the end of the season.

It is not yet known whether Thuram would prefer to see out the rest of the season with Daniel Farke's side, but for Graham Potter renovating his misfiring team has become a priority given their slump in form, lending credence to the possibility that the deal could be completed in the current window.
