Arsenal have received a boost in their chase for Borussia Monchengladbach star Marcus Thuram.

The French attacker is out of contract in the summer at Gladbach, and appears unlikely to renew his deal.

Thuram, who has been linked to a host of clubs around Europe, is the son of legendary French defender Lilian Thuram.

Per transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, the 25-year-old wants to depart the German club.

Romano told GiveMeSport, "So, there are many clubs approaching his agent. From what I'm told, he's not going to extend the contract, so it makes a big opportunity for many clubs in the summer."

Sport Bild also added that the club are already looking at replacements for Thuram.
