Liverpool have been in talks for some time to sign Khephren Thuram and the latest reports indicate that a deal has been made.
According to an exclusive story from Football Insider, the Merseysiders are closing in on signing the OGC Nice midfielder.

News – Liverpool ready to offer £68.7million to sign midfielder, aiming straight at Him Prominent journalist David Lynch says Thuram is keen to move to Anfield and the Reds, who are pushing hard, should finalize the deal this summer.
The versatile talent can play in positions no. 6 and no. 8 and directly contributed to ten goals in all competitions last season.
Thuram is expected to be Liverpool’s second midfield signing this summer, having signed Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton earlier this month.
With James Milner, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita already gone, the Anfield club lack quality and depth in the center of the park.
On the other hand, stars like Thiago and Henderson are already over 30 veterans and first choice defensive midfielder Fabinho will turn 30 later this year.
Therefore, aging is another concern in midfield and the addition of an energetic young star in the form of Khephren Thuram who has arrived in the Ligue 1 XI is much needed at Anfield.
The Blues player has two years left on his contract with Nice and is believed to be valued at around £50million.You can find the latest updates here.
