21-year-old French midfielder Khephren Thuram is on Chelsea and Newcastle’s radar.
It’s been a disappointing start to the season for Chelsea and Graham Potter, who find themselves chasing Champions League places with little success so far.
Doubts about the future of N’Golo Kante and Jorginho are an unwanted distraction, as both are out of contract at the end of the season.
Now, according to the Daily Mail, Chelsea and Newcastle are interested in signing Nice midfielder Thuram. Newcastle are now in a position where they can compete with the likes of Chelsea for signings after their Saudi investment, which could help them bring Champions League football to St James’ Park.

Despite his age, Thuram is already a regular for Nice, having made 11 league appearances so far this season.
A midfielder could be a priority for Chelsea, but Newcastle’s financial power may make it difficult for Graham Potter and Todd Boehly to compete.
Newcastle are likely to provide more regular playing time, and the financial package could tip it in their favor.
