A French international for a year, Khéphren Thuram is having a bad season with OGC Nice. Even if the disappointing level of play of his team does not help, the 22-year-old midfielder is kept in the eleven without convincing.
Things are going badly for Khéphren Thuram at OGC Nice. The youngest son of Lilian Thuram is playing his fourth season as a starter for the Aiglons and his good performances allowed him to be called up to the French team in March and November 2023 (for an entry into play). However, the 22-year-old player has little chance of being called up by Didier Deschamps next Thursday for the international window in March, three months before Euro 2024.
Thuram is not having a good season, far from it. It must be said that he plays in a team that is not very brilliant in the game and has been since the start of the season, the snatch victories often hiding the minimalist football of Francesco Fraioli’s team. The midfielder was not decisive on any goal this season (in 18 L1 matches and one Coupe de France), while he finished with 2 goals and 8 assists in 2023-2024.
“He gives the impression of hiding”
Thuram nevertheless has the confidence of his young Italian coach, but his recent performances are very average. His performance during the defeat in Toulouse (2-1) last Sunday earned him a rating of 3/10 on the site. Get Football. “He lacks confidence and constantly stays in the shadows, he seems to be hiding in matches at the moment. Ineffective »can we read from the English-language media.
Thuram can largely lose his place in the starting lineup in favor of Morgan Sanson and Hicham Boudaoui, players who are not more effective but much more energetic. His departure next summer is getting closer, he who was announced in the sights of the biggest clubs in Europe last year. Its market value is 40 million euros for Transfermarkt. That’s a lot for a central midfielder who hasn’t scored in a year.
