West Ham United are casting their net in the French Ligue 1 as new manager Julen Lopetegui plots a summer transfer window focused on shrewd acquisitions.

Lopetegui inherits a squad in desperate need of a refresh. An ageing core and a lack of balance across the pitch demand action. While promoting promising youngsters remains a priority, targeted signings are also essential for the Hammers’ rebuild.

West Ham’s transfer kitty might not be overflowing, forcing Lopetegui to be a shrewd operator in the market. Identifying players who offer good value for money will be key to the club’s success.

Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram has emerged as a potential target for the East London club. The 23-year-old Frenchman is valued at a reported £13-17 million, a price tag that has piqued West Ham’s interest.

Thuram boasts a skillset that could address some of West Ham’s midfield shortcomings. Described as powerful, pacey, and technically sound, he could inject much-needed dynamism and athleticism into the center of the park.

With his potential and a price tag that falls within West Ham’s range, Thuram represents a transfer opportunity the club can’t afford to ignore. Lopetegui will need to make a quick decision, as other clubs are likely to be attracted to the young Frenchman’s profile. The capture of Thuram could be a significant first step in Lopetegui’s West Ham rebuild.

    Simon, I love your content but some of the american english on some of the articles on claret and hugh needs to be addressed, ” center “”(centre) , ” favorite”(favourite) and “aging””(ageing) are commonly used on many an article, Yes , I know ageing was spelt correctly in this article, sorry to be pedantic mate but being an English teacher, It really irritates me.

    Don’t stop there, Teddy. Some of the punctuation & grammar is abysmal, & the use of ‘s for the plural of words is absolutely incredible ! But, please excuse me if I have made any mistakes ! What does need to be considered is that the computer often uses American spellings when one has used the correct English ones; & one doesn’t notice it.

    Seems like the computer has “ lost “ my comment, so I will try again.
    Don’t stop there, Teddy. Some of the grammar & spelling on the internet is abysmal; as is the use of punctuation, especially using ‘s for the plural ! In defence of the contributors, the computer often “corrects” English spelling into American, without you realizing.
