Here is your Liverpool FC morning digest as Khephren Thuram stirs up fans with social media like while the Reds are linked with another midfielder
Khephren Thuram sparks more Liverpool transfer talk after ‘liking’ post on Instagram.
Khephren Thuram has caused a stir on social media among Liverpool supporters after it was spotted he had ‘liked’ a social media post praising Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Nice midfielder Thuram is away on international duty with France ahead of the Under-21 Euros, but he still had time to get Liverpool fans talking.
Thuram has been strongly linked with a move to Anfield this summer after Jurgen Klopp has already secured top summer target Alexis Mac Allister. The ECHO understands Thuram is now high on the shortlist as the Reds plot further midfield additions.
It was claimed elsewhere earlier in the week that Liverpool and Thuram were ‘close’ to agreeing personal terms as the two clubs were reportedly in talks surrounding a fee for the 22-year-old.
Alexis Mac Allister became the latest South America player to join Liverpool earlier this month, adding to an already well-represented contingent.
While Roberto Firmino (and Arthur Melo) might be leaving the Reds this summer, Jurgen Klopp can still call upon the services of Brazil internationals Alisson Becker and Fabinho, Colombia’s Luis Diaz, and Uruguay’s Darwin Nunez.
To date, 20 South Americans have played senior first team football for Liverpool, with Mac Allister set to be the 21st, and young goalkeeper Marcelo Pitaluga perhaps also looking to add his name to such a list in the not-too-distant future.
