The post (Video) Khephren Thuram shows exactly why Liverpool are desperate to sign him this summer appeared first on The Empire of The Kop.

The young French side earned a 2-1 victory over their Italian counterparts at the Cluj Arena in Romania tonight to get their campaign off to a flyer and the reported Liverpool target showed exactly why Jurgen Klopp and Co. are eager to prize him to Merseyside ahead of next season.

During the first half with the scoreline at 1-1 the 22-year-old received the ball just inside his own half before showing strength, pace and determination to beat three Italy players and drive upfield.

As he approached the opposition penalty area he appeared to be outnumbered but he somehow played the ball out wide to his teammate to continue the attack.

Legs and energy are two key traits that were missing from our midfield for the majority of last season but it’s clear that the OGC Nice man possesses those attributes in abundance.

Neil Jones confirmed to Caught Offside recently that the dynamic midfielder is the ‘likeliest’ player to be signed next while we’re also being linked with Thuram’s compatriot Manu Kone who also started in midfield tonight for Les Bleus.
