The Blues have been competing for the Frenchman's signature with his contract in Germany expiring this summer.

And with Thuram being in amazing goal-scoring form, the 25-year-old has decided to depart from Borussia Monchengladbach.

Chelsea is in need of a striker after massive injury concerns in their forward battery and Thuram could be an ideal signing for Graham Potter.

Chelsea are in talks over a fifth January signing in this window. PSV are looking to sell Madueke this month and Chelsea believe a bid around €45million (£40m) could secure the signing, according to reports in the Football London.

The Blues have expressed interest in signing Madueke in a deal that would cost around £35m.

Madueke, 20, grew up in London and spend time in both the Crystal Palace and Tottenham academies before joining PSV in 2018.

The highly-rated forward has gone on to score 20 goals in 79 first-team appearances for PSV, with his form attracting interest from Premier League giants Chelsea.

Addressing the speculation surrounding Madueke, PSV boss and Manchester United legend Van Nistelrooy said: 'I know there is interest. This is due to his qualities and performance. It's a worry.

We need to see if we can keep him. I very much hope for that. We must do everything we can to do that. But you also know that things can take off, if the purse is pulled hard.

'Then you have to be ready with several options, because then you would lose a second player in January. But as a coach you would rather keep your best players.

'Situations can arise where clubs come in with an offer that cannot be stopped.'
