Khephren Thuram is the perfect Declan Rice replacement, and he wouldn’t cost too much money for West Ham United either.
The 24-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away from West Ham, with the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City all thought to be chasing his signature (The Express).

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has been touted as a potential replacement for Rice at the London Stadium.
The majority of West Ham fans have come to terms with the fact that the 39-capped England international will leave at the end of the season.
And when that happens, there is only one man we should be going after in my opinion…
Khephren Thuram the ideal Declan Rice replacement for West Ham
The 21-year-old Nice midfielder is a truly sensational talent and has been in brilliant form this season.
Thuram is valued at around €30 million (£26 million) according to SI.
He has the 10th most progressive carries per 90 minutes out of all Ligue 1 midfielders this term (Euro Expert), and has been described as an amazing player by Total Football Analysis.
Standing at 6ft 3in tall, Thurman is an imposing presence in central midfield. He is incredibly powerful, full of energy and stamina and is as dynamic as they come.
In 24 Ligue 1 games for Nice this season, the young Frenchman has bagged one goal and three assists. During those outings, he has averaged 1.3 tackles and one interception and has resisted a pass completion rate of 86.7% (Who Scored).
Khephren Thuram is an unbelievable athlete and for just £26 million, West Ham cannot go wrong – he would literally be the perfect replacement for Declan Rice and we would have a good £70-80 million left over as well.
Obviously remaining in the Premier League will be crucial to our hopes of signing players like the young Frenchman, and if we manage to do that, there is no reason why we won’t be able to sign the Nice star.
Losing Rice will be a massive blow for West Ham but bringing in someone as good as Thuram would certainly make the transitional period without Dec a whole lot easier to navigate through.
