The 23-year-old has done well for the German outfit this past season, bagging 11 goals and 12 assists in all competitions.
Tottenham could definitely use some depth in the wide areas, and the French winger can play on both flanks.
Erik Lamela has been linked with a move away from the London club this summer, and Thuram would be a quality alternative.
However, it is unclear whether the Premier League club will finalise the transfer before bringing in a new manager.
They are yet to appoint a long term successor for Jose Mourinho after being linked with Mauricio Pochettino, Antonio Conte and Erik Ten Hag in recent weeks.
Thuram would add pace, flair and goals to Tottenham’s attack, and his direct style of play could help him settle in the Premier League quickly.
He is yet to reach his peak and is likely to improve with experience.
There is no doubt that he could prove to be a handy addition to the Tottenham attack if they can snap him up this summer.
