Arsenal secured a vital 1-0 victory over London rivals Chelsea on Sunday, keeping their slim Premier League title hopes alive. The win saw Arsenal close the gap on league leaders Liverpool, moving them to within 12 points of the top. While the deficit remains significant, the victory helped Arsenal snap a 3-match winless run in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Liverpool have suffered a torrid week as they lost in the final of Carabao Cup to Newcastle United. The Reds were also knocked out of the Champions League on penalties by Paris St-Germain in midweek. Now, it looks like the Premier League leaders have suffered another blow as Arsenal have leapfrogged them in the race to sign Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram, according to Football Insider.

The 27-year-old forward has attracted significant interest from top European clubs, with Liverpool also monitoring the situation. However, the Merseyside club have fallen behind the London club in the race for his signature.

Thuram, who is the son of France legend Lilian Thuram, has a £71 million release clause in his contract. The French international has been in excellent form for Inter Milan, netting 16 goals in 38 appearances this season.

Inter Milan Determined to Keep Hold of Marcus Thuram

Inter Milan are determined to keep hold of their star striker as Thuram has played a crucial role in Inter’s success, contributing significantly to their triumph in the Italian top flight last season. The Serie A champions will do everything in their power to convince him to stay at the San Siro. However, with Premier League clubs circling, a move could still be on the cards.
