Manchester United target Wout Weghorst looks to have handed Chelsea a huge boost in the race to sign Borussia Monchengladbach star Marcus Thuram. The 25-year-old striker has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League lately amid an increasingly uncertain future in the Bundesliga.
Thuram sees his contract with the German outfit expire at the end of the season and, with the Frenchman unwilling to pen an extension, he's set to be available for a cut-price fee this month. His impressive displays for club and country have courted great interest in his services with Arsenal and United among 'many top clubs' rivalling the Blues for his signature.
However, the Red Devils are said to be monitoring another striker in Europe - Burnley talisman Weghorst, who is currently on loan at Besiktas. The Netherlands international has emerged as a surprise target for United as Erik ten Hag looks to replace Cristiano Ronaldo.
