If you havn't yet seen the comparison charts series,you can find the links below. The last one yesterday was strikers to follow on from the right-back and left-back charts to help you decide the most astuste purchases.

Morgan Sanson

• Morgan Sanson was offered to Tottenham with Marseille needing to have to sell players to balance the books.
  French clubs have to submit accounts and projections for the following year by the end of the month. 

• Marseille need to raise £53.46m (€60m - AUS$97.22m - US$67.73m) with Morgan Sanson, Boubacar Kamara and Maxime Lopez being the combination of players expected to be sold.

• The French club have already seen the departure of its sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta and rumours about that highly paid manager André Villas-Boas may have to leave although owner Frank McCourt and President Eyraud have expressed their wish that he remain. 

• The 25-year-old (26 in August) central-midfielder, who has scored 5 goals and had 5 assists in 27 Ligue 1 games, is thought to favour a move to Spurs over Borussia Dortmund, Sevilla, West Ham United, Newcastle United, Wolves, Everton, Crystal Palace, and Arsenal. 

• Sanson is a central midfielder, both a distributor and someone who wins his tackles.
  Strong areas, dribbling, finishing, long shots, interceptions, concentration and defensive contribution.

• Le 10 Sport suggest Spurs are close to finalising a deal through super agent Pini Zahavi who enjoys a good relationship with José Mourinho and that the deal should happen very soon.

• Sanson price could be €30m but as Spurs know the French must sell before the end of the month, time pressure will either bring the price down or include more add-ons or extend payments with an initial loan deal.

• French price required £26.73m (€30m - AUS$48.61m - US$33.86m) + £4.48m (€5m - AUS$8.1m - US$5.64m)
• Spurs and Wolves willing to pay £20m (€22.43m - AUS$36.36m - US$25.33m) + Add-ons

• Sanson had 39 shots in 26 Ligue 1 games with 12 being on target.

• Prior to the pandemic and its consequences this is what his agent told French newspaper 20 Minutes (free newspaper for commuters):
  
  “For Morgan, his priority is Marseille. But he continues to be willing to listen to offers, so long as they are adequately in line with his sporting ambitions. Morgan has been approached a lot, but he will not leave if from a football perspective, what is being offered is not better than at Marseille. His aim is not to earn more money, but to improve in his football.”
