Sunderland Are Among The Clubs Hoping To Land This Juventus Midfielder: Good Option For Le Bris? In a recent report , Calciomercato stated that Sunderland are among the clubs hoping to land Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram. It has been claimed that the Black Cats would have to rival Nottingham Forest in the race to sign the French talent in this summer transfer window. Thuram’s Impressive Form In Serie A The 25-year-old enjoyed a decent campaign at the Italian club in the previous campaign when he produced a string of impressive displays for them in the middle of the park. Thuram scored four times and secured five assists in 45 matches for the Turin club last season across all fronts. The French talent is currently one of the best central midfielders in Serie A. Thus, it is no surprise that the Black Cats are in the running to land him this off-season. His current contract at the Allianz Stadium will run out in the summer of 2029, which could make it tough for Sunderland to get a deal done for him on the cheap in this transfer period.

Thuram loves a tackle and can time his challenges well to earn possession back for his team inside his half. He usually puts his foot through the ball when needed and is a good passer as well. The French sensation can shoot the ball with venom from long range and is full of energy and running at the centre of the park. Thuram can even chip in by scoring and creating a handful of important goals for his team. However, only time will tell whether he can maintain his good form in the Premier League if the Wearside outfit manage to get him on board. Thuram will add more quality and depth to Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris’ midfield. He has what it takes to nail down a regular first-team spot at the Stadium of Light in the coming years. At 25, Thuram has his best years ahead of him, which makes him a decent option for the Black Cats to pursue later this year. However, Le Bris has to give him some time to adjust to life in England before he can get the best out of the player.
