Everton named on list of Marcus Thuram suitors as France striker set to become free agent

Everton have reportedly joined a number of clubs looking at securing the services of France international Marcus Thuram in the transfer window.

Thuram, who starred for France in the World Cup in Qatar, is out of contract at Borussia Monchengladbach in the summer and looks likely to leave the German club on a free transfer.

Everton have struggled in attacking areas this season with Richarlison leaving last summer and Anthony Gordon departing for Newcastle in January. Neal Maupay came in and has scored just once.

As a result of their lack of firepower, the Blues are very much in the fight for Premier League survival. They sit in 15th in the table, just two points above West Ham United in 18th, with no team in the top flight having scored fewer goals so far this season.

They write: "Aston Villa, Everton, Leicester and West Ham are all among Thuram’s lengthy list of suitors, with the Gladbach striker expecting plenty of offers this summer ahead of a probable exit from the Bundesliga."

Thuram is in good form for his club side. He currently has 15 goals from 26 appearances in all competitions this season.
