Chelsea appear to still be in the market for a striker despite having already welcomed David Datro Fofana and Joao Felix to the club this month. Graham Potter has endured a turbulent start to life at Stamford Bridge but the 47-year-old will be hoping that new signings can help further implement his ideas on the pitch.
So, Borussia Monchengladbach star Marcus Thuram has been identified by the west Londoners as a candidate who can solve the Blues' goalscoring misfortunes. The France international has impressed for club and country this season, attracting significant interest from a number of top-flight European clubs.
Thuram sees his contract with the German outfit 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 seem eager on wrapping up an shrewd acquisition.
