Thuram has been hailed as “extraordinary” in the past.

The 25-year-old is a hard-working player who will add creativity, drive and physicality in the middle of the park. The opportunity to play for Liverpool will be exciting for him. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they can offer him Champions League football as well.

He could be an interesting acquisition for both teams. It remains to be seen whether they are prepared to pay €50 million (£43m) for the French international. He is still only 25, and he could justify the investment in the near future.
