French publication L’Equipe is reporting that Marseille midfielder Morgan Sanson is being offered to three English clubs this summer but, at present, the Ligue 1 side’s asking price is far too high.

The report, as relayed by Foot Mercato, is suggesting that super-agent Pini Zahavi has taken over Sanson’s potential transfer talks and has offered the player to Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and Everton. 

Arsenal’s link to Sanson is relatively new, although they were tentatively talked about as a location for the Frenchman back in 2018. 

Tottenham have been more regularly linked and Zahavi has a strong relationship with the club, having recently helped the club appoint Jose Mourinho as manager and sign Gedson Fernandes. 

Everton were said to be keen on the player in February, as reported by The Express, however, that trail has gone cold until now. 

But any interest the trio of clubs may have in the player could be forgotten because of his monumental asking price. 

It is suggested that Marseille president Jacques-Henri Eyraud wants a fee in the region of €35 million-€40 million for the player (£31m-£35.5m). 

Zahavi has reportedly informed the Marseille supremo that there is no way of receiving that type of money for Sanson, especially amid the current global situation. 

Arsenal, Tottenham, and Everton would undoubtedly be keen on Sanson at the right price. But considering the cash-strapped Phoceen are asking for such a big fee none of the interested trio will be keen until that is rectified. 

It is even fair to say that Sanson would only be of interest at half the current asking price that Eyraud appears to want. 

Until then, any move for Sanson from the Premier League looks very unlikely.
