West Ham have been eyeing him as a potential midfield recruit and they have been in talks with Marseille over the possibility of taking the Frenchman to east London.
And according to French daily La Provence, the Hammers are likely to soon slap in an initial bid with Marseille for Sanson in their efforts to sign him this summer.
