They added that Wolves, Fulham and Burnley were also keen on signing the 26-year-old.

Now, it looks as if Sanson will be heading to England’s top-flight with one of these five sides, if not another mystery outfit.

Last month, Sky Sports revealed that Marseille – managed by ex-Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas – want at least £22.5 million for their No.8.

Hopefully, this unnamed club will become known in the coming days.

So, what type of player is Sanson?

Well, after Wolves were linked with the midfield maestro, Birmingham Live made an interesting comparison.

They describe the Ligue 1 star as similar to Portugal international Ruben Neves, but with an edge to his game in addition to the silkier parts.

With just two weeks and a day until the transfer deadline, things could be about to hot up in the market, in our view.

Following Téléfoot Chaine’s interesting news, it certainly sounds as if Sanson is a player to keep an eye on over the course of those 15 days.
