Whisper+ Analysis:
Authenticity (2.5/5): Arsenal among Thuram's admirers
Arsenal are said to be among three Premier League clubs that are interested in signing Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram in the summer transfer window.
That is according to Tutto Juve, who claim that Newcastle United and Manchester United are also race for the Frenchman's signature.
Value (1.5/5): Juventus reluctant to part ways
Arsenal will have their work cut out to prise Thuram away from Turin, with Juventus determined to retain his services beyond the end of the season.
The Serie A giants view Thuram as unsellable, and they are certainly under no pressure to part ways with a player who is under contract until the summer of 2029.
Suitability (3.5/5): Talented midfielder
Thuram is confident in carrying the ball and linking up with his teammates in build-up play. The 24-year-old is also strong out of possession, making him a well-rounded midfielder.
Upgrade? (4/5): Partey, Jorginho heading towards exit
Thomas Partey and Jorginho are both on course to depart when their Arsenal contracts expire at the end of the season. Thuram certainly has the quality to fill any void in Mikel Arteta's midfield, although there could be some doubt about how well he would adapt to the Premier League.
Logic (3.5/5): Unlikely to leave Juventus
While Juventus are reluctant to sanction Thuram's departure, the player himself may also be keen to continue his career in Turin, considering he only joined the club from Nice last summer. The 24-year-old has established himself as a regular fixture in the side this season, having made 40 appearances across all competitions, contributing four goals and four assists.
Whisper+ Verdict: 15/25
While Thuram has the quality to be a useful addition, it seems unlikely that he will leave Juventus at the end of the season.
