West Ham target French U21 playermaker

According to reports on website France Football West Ham are showing interest again in a young french player called Morgan Sanson. The player has been scouted by the Hammers since 2015 and the club were linked last February for a move to sign the young talent.

The 22 year old French midfielder is currently playing at Montpellier where he has scored 3 goals and contributed 7 assists in 20 appearances this season. The article suggests the Hammers are prepared to pay up to 6 million Euros for the player.

Playing for Montpellier since 2013, the French Under 21 international has managed to establish himself as a powerhouse for La Paillade in a playmaking/attacking midfielder role. According to RMC, he has been targeted by Borussia Dortmund, Bournemouth, West Bromwich Albion, Olympique Lyon and Olympique Marseille.

His contract with the Ligue 1 side runs until June 2018 although his club might be tempted by an offer around 7.5 million euros.

The player himself is unfazed by recent speculation saying: “I have read a lot of things, but, as I have already said, I am remaining 100% concentrated on Montpellier for the moment. I am coming back well, I am savouring it, but I remain truly concentrated in order to continue my progression and I work everyday with Montpellier in my head.”
