Premier League giants Liverpool have agreed on the personal terms of a contract with a leading summer transfer target, according to reports.
The player in question? Khephren Thuram.
The name of midfielder Thuram, of course, has taken its place front and centre in the headlines on the red half of Merseyside for some time now.
This comes after widespread confirmation was forthcoming in the media that the OGC Nice star has been identified as a prime candidate to reinforce Jurgen Klopp’s ranks in the middle of the park.
In fact, dating all the way back to January, Thuram was tipped to take his talents to Anfield.

And though, mid-season, a deal failed to come to fruition, if the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by, then Liverpool appear to have moved a major step closer to landing their man.
Thuram is understood to be keen on the prospect of a move to Merseyside, with negotiations, in turn, having been reopened with the Nice hierarchy.
Should the Frenchman ultimately go on to seal a move to Liverpool, then he will mark the Reds’ 2nd midfield addition with a view to next season, after a deal was previously wrapped up for Brighton & Hove Albion standout Alexis Mac Allister.
