Chelsea still want to sign West Ham target Marcus Thuram, in spite of having already sealed a loan deal for Joao Felix.
That’s according to a report from Sky Deutschland who claim that Graham Potter is still keen to bring the 25-year-old attacker to Chelsea, despite the fact that he has already added Felix to his ranks at Stamford Bridge.

The Scot will have his work cut-out though, that’s for sure.
Despite Chelsea’s current struggles, they are still more of an attractive prospect than us at the moment…
Chelsea want to sign Marcus Thuram
The Blues are still in the race for the Borussia Monchengladbach forward according to Sky Deutschland.
He could be available for just £9 million (Gazzetta dello Sport). That’s absolutely outstanding value, and West Ham should be going all out to sign him.
It may well be impossible to beat the west London outfit to his signature though, if Potter does in fact make a concrete move to sign him.
The 25-year-old has been described as a ‘sensational’ player by scouting, statistics and analytical website Total Football Analysis. Meanwhile, Get Football News Germany describe him as a ‘world-class’ striker – quite the compliment!
Thuram possesses blistering pace and can play anywhere along the front-line. He has bagged 13 goals and four assists in 17 games for Gladbach so far this season (Transfermarkt).
The nine-capped France international is a really explosive striker, and is a constant menace for opposing defenders.
What a signing he would be for the Hammers. He has absolutely everything that we are currently crying out for in the final third.
However, with the report claiming that Chelsea want to sign Thuram, it appears as though West Ham and David Moyes will have to look elsewhere.
