Chelsea in talks for Borussia Monchengladbach striker Marcus ... (Eurosport.com)

Chelsea could be set for yet another transfer market move this January after reportedly opening talks with Borussia Monchengladbach for Marcus Thuram.

Thuram joined 'Gladbach in 2019 from French side Guingamp, and has 41 goals in 119 appearances for the German side. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was signed by his former Borussia Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel, but he was sacked by Boehly, and the Gabonese striker is seen as a back-up given he is 33 years old. A deal has already been agreed for Benoit Badiashile of Monaco, talks continue for Benfica’s World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez, and have signed David Datro Fofana from Molde and Brazilian midfielder Andrey Santos from Vasco da Gama.

Chelsea linked with France striker Marcus Thuram (We Ain't Got No History)

The club were said to be hopeful of adding three first-team players with the priority on the striker position. It's unclear if David Datro Fofana counts as one ...

Thuram’s current contract is set to expire at the end of the season, which means he could go for free anywhere in the summer — or presumably Gladbach could collect a cut-rate fee to let him go in January. That’s one short of his career high, which prompts the concern that this is just a flash-in-the-pan season for him, rather than the start of expected greatness. [Foot Mercato](https://www.footmercato.net/a4939120421675584650-chelsea-fonce-sur-marcus-thuram) only said that “many European clubs are on the prowl” (of course they are) and that Chelsea “could take action as early as January” (it is certainly within the realm of possibilities in the vast multi-verse). Marcus, son of the legendary defender Lilian Thuram, plays as a striker or wide-forward, and is having the best season of his career with 13 goals scored already in 17 appearances in all competitions for Gladbach. Hakim Ziyech and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are both older as well, but it’s probably safe to assume that they won’t be here next season. It’s unclear if David Datro Fofana counts as one of those three (Benoît Badiashile certainly does), but there’s clearly still opportunities for the owners to splash some more cash.

Ten Hag's side are now making strides and are eating up the ground on their rivals at the top of the table. Manchester United are seemingly making progress on a loan deal for Wout Weghorst but allowing Marcus Thuram to join Chelsea this month would simply represent a missed opportunity for Erik ten Hag and the Old Trafford recruitment team. United seem to be fixated on the loan market and the idea of signing a stop-gap option to see them through until the end of the season. It is now a mystery as to why a number of big clubs from across Europe are prepared to overlook the proposition of landing Thuram on the cheap this winter. Thuram is the kind of profile that ticks multiple boxes for Ten Hag and even with Weghorst potentially arriving at the club, the Frenchman brings something different to the table. The Blues are now understood to have open talks over a cut-price deal with the 25-year-old forward now in the final six months of his Borussia Monchengladbach contract.
