Newcastle United are reportedly interested in signing French international striker Marcus Thuram.
The 25-year-old will be a free agent at the end of the season, and Borussia Mönchengladbach could cash in on the player next month. The German outfit will not want to lose him for free at the end of the season, and it makes sense that they would sell him at a reasonable price in January.
Newcastle are looking to add more quality to their attacking unit and have identified the 25-year-old as a potential target.
A Transfers report claims that Italian giants Inter Milan are also interested in signing the Frenchman, but Newcastle clearly have an advantage in the transfer chase. The report adds that Newcastle can offer the player more money and therefore will be one of the favorites to sign him.
Thuram has been outstanding for the Bundesliga club this season, scoring 13 goals (and four assists) in 17 appearances in all competitions.
