Khephren’s ability to play in both deep and advanced areas means he could be an asset for quite a number of teams as he will be able to fit into virtually every midfield role the clubs are looking to fill.

Liverpool pull out of Jude Bellingham race
Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham has been dropped from Liverpool's summer transfer target list according to reports.
Real Madrid also seem to be gathering the next generation of French midfielders at the club and could add 22-year-old Thuram to 23-year-old Aurelin Tchouameni and 20-year-old Eduardo Camavinga.
Manchester City could also do with more presence in the middle of the park with the imminent departure of stalwart Ilkay Gundogan, who is yet to sign a contract extension with his deal running out in the summer.
All three clubs are attracted to the prospect of Khephren Thuram as they could get a quality midfielder with many years ahead of him for only €50 million which is Nice’s asking price for the Frenchman who has already made his debut for the national team.
