Tottenham Hotspur enjoyed a splendid summer transfer window as Daniel Levy brought in some exciting players at White Hart Lane, and while Ange Postecoglou looks to integrate new faces in his roster at Hotspur Way, the officials behind the scenes have already started laying blueprints for the next transfer intervals, and a move for Inter Milan’s prolific striker Marcus Thuram seems to be among the cards as Spurs look to fortify the offensive arsenal at the Australian’s disposal.
The French international has been playing some high-quality football since he moved to Inter Milan. He was an integral part of their Scudetto triumph in the last season, as his impressive tally of 15 goals and 14 assists across all competitions caught the attention of multiple Premier League sides, with Spurs named among them.
Thuram a target for multiple Premier League Clubs
Tottenham did bring in Solanke in the summer transfer window; however, the problem lies beyond him. There is no depth in the number nine position at N17 with the consistent injury problems that Richarlison has been facing, and a potential arrival for Thuram could spell trouble for the Brazilian.
The French international has a versatile profile, and his goal-scoring prowess could see him form a formidable partnership with Dominic Solanke in the Spurs attack, something we were so used to seeing Son and Kane do for Tottenham—however, in a different context.

Tottenham will face competition from Premier League rivals Aston Villa in their pursuit of the highly-rated attacker, per Fichajes, and the fact that he is entering his prime age, just like Solanke, complemented by his track record, makes him an attractive prospect.
We need to see if Inter are open to losing one of their key players in Thuram given his goal-scoring contributions off late.
For Tottenham, they can offer Thuram a place to feature among the big six sides in the Premier League, and that is in an exciting project under Ange Postecoglou. However, could it be enough to convince Marcus to move to White Hart Lane?
