Premier League trio Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly all interested in signing Guingamp forward Marcus Thuram.

Thuram - who is the son of former World Cup winner Lilian Thuram - has scored 10 goals in just 17 appearances for Guingamp this season, seven of which have come in 15 Ligue 1 outings.

The 21-year-old scored a 93rd-minute winner to knock champions Paris Saint-Germain out of the Coupe de la Ligue earlier this month, and his form is understood to have attracted interest from the Premier League trio.

talkSPORT reports that United, Arsenal and Spurs all sent scouts to watch the youngster during the weekend clash with Saint-Etienne, which bottom-of-the-table Guingamp lost 1-0.

Despite the result, Thuram's performance is understood to have impressed those watching on and the Premier League giants are now considering an approach.

Thuram's father Lilian is the most capped player in France's history with 142 international appearances, also playing for Monaco, Parma, Juventus and Barcelona during his club career.
