Arsenal pushing to sign Marcus Thuram?

Arsenal are reportedly keen on beating Barcelona to the signing of Borussia Monchengladbach forward Marcus Thuram.

The Frenchman has entered the final five months of his Gladbach deal and he has no plans of putting pen-to-paper on an extension.

Hence, he is expected to leave them on a free transfer, and Bild claim that there is widespread interest in landing his services.

Barcelona are determined to sign him on a Bosman deal, but they are set to face stiff competition from multiple English clubs.

Arsenal are one of them that are monitoring the player's situation. They could make a serious effort to land him in the coming weeks.

Thuram is free to sign a pre-contract deal with a foreign club but he is prepared to assess his options first before committing.

Bayern Munich are also keeping tabs on the World Cup finalist, though he has no plans of continuing in the Bundesliga next term.

Thuram is also on the radar of Chelsea, Newcastle United and Liverpool.
