says Newcastle United are yet to make a move for World Cup finalist Marcus Thuram, but claimed it’s ‘one to watch’ ahe🐼ad of the January window.

Newcastle got back to competitive action last night as they beat Bournemouth 1-0 to book their pไlace in t🎃he quarter-final of the League Cup.

Newcastle yet to make move for Thuram

The CBS journalist told that Newcast🗹le haven’t even made an enquiry about Thuram yet.

“Within the market he’s a pretty decent price. I do think there’s an opportunity because Monchengladbach want to sell but I’m not aware at this point 🦩that Newcastle have made an enquiry or started anything,” Jacobs said.

“It was Manchester United who were reaꦆlly considering him in the build up to the World Cup. I think Thuram is one to watch, only because he’s at an age where he could be tempted by a move and the price could be lower than other targets.

“But other than that anꦰd Saint-Maximin’s comments, there’s not too much to this from a Newcastle sense.”

Thuram h🀅🧸as been in lethal form for Monchengladbach this season and has bagged 13 goals in 17 appearances.

The attacker was ꦜalso brought on as a substitute dur⛎ing France’s World Cup final defeat to Argentina and helped Les Bleus get back into the game, alongside Randal Kolo Muani.

He could be available at a cheap price too, with his contract set t🥂o expire at the end of the season. German outlet claims Monchengladbach could be willing to accept a fee worth around £10 million to avoid losing him for free. 

Howe seems well-stacked in terms of his striker options at the moment but he could do with another wi💃de player to compete with Miguel Almiron and Allan Saint-Maximin.

Thuram has shown he is capable of playing across the font-three and would undoubtedly improve the quality of Newcastle’✨s squad. But after the Frenchman’s start to the campaign, the Magpies will face stiff competition for his signature if they register their interest.
