Chelsea appear to still be in the market for a striker this month despite having already welcomed David Datro Fofana from Molde on a six-and-a-half-year contract. The 20-year-old talisman has been pictured training with the Blues but Graham Potter remains intent on bolstering his frontline.
So, Borussia Monchengladbach star Marcus Thuram has been identified by the west Londoners as a candidate who can solve Chelsea's goalscoring misfortunes. The France international has impressed for club and country this season, courting great interest from a number of top-flight European clubs.
Thuram sees his contract with the German outfits expire at the end of the season and is set to be available for a cut-price fee. There has been no indication - as of yet - that he'll pen an extension with Monchengladbach so Chelsea look to be keen on securing an attractive bargain.
