Borussia Monchengladbach striker Marcus Thuram has emerged as a potential target for Liverpool, according to reports in Germany.
Fussball Transfers claims the Reds have the 25-year-old 'on the list' as Jurgen Klopp looks to bolster his attacking options in January. Thuram has enjoyed another outstanding season in the Bundesliga so far, scoring 10 goals in 15 games as his Gladbach side sit in eighth place.
