Report: West Ham eye swap bid for Aston Villa target Morgan Sanson

According to reports from The Sun, West Ham are considering making a bid for Morgan Sanson in the January transfer window.

Marseille manager Andre Villas-Boas has confirmed that the 26-year-old is being wanted by several Premier League clubs this month.

Aston Villa, Tottenham and Arsenal are showing keen interest in signing the £20 million-rated rated midfielder. West Ham have also joined the race.

Sanson helped Marseille to a second-place finish in Ligue 1 last season, but the French midfielder has endured a more difficult campaign this season.

Villas-Boas confirmed the interest from England for Sanson and even hinted that a move could materialise this month.
