Tottenham are reportedly watching midfielder Morgan Sanson at Ligue 1 club Marseille.

According to Europe Mercato, Spurs are monitoring the Frenchman and he’s valued at around £18million.

The north London club could land a potential bargain in the 24-year-old if they ramp up their interest and manager Mauricio Pochettino may be on the verge of another masterstroke.

Pochettino has a knack of finding gems in the transfer market and their latest target fits the bill.

Sanson is a well rounded central midfielder that contributes both offensively and defensively to his Marseille team.

The goalscoring midfielder managed 12 goals across all competitions last season and is a real consistent performer in the French top flight.

Spurs have had mixed success with signings from France, but Sanson has the potential to be a genius addition if he can settle to the Premier League quickly.

Pochettino could do with a fresh body in the long-term to help replace the likes of Mousa Dembele and Victor Wanyama with their influences lessening.

Sanson seems a potential bargain at below the £20million mark and Spurs are proving themselves to be astute in the transfer market.
