Arsenal have reportedly contacted both Marseille and Morgan Sanson’s ‘entourage’ about signing the player this summer.

Although no offer has been made, Le10Sport reported that Arsenal have contacted Marseille to check on Morgan Sanson’s availability while also speaking to the player’s representatives about the possibility of a move.

Sanson is represented by super agent, Pini Zahavi, who reportedly offered the 25-year-old midfielder to Arsenal and Tottenham back in May.

That report came via L’Equipe, so is perhaps more reliable than something coming out of Le10Sport, but there has been enough smoke around this player and Arsenal for me to think there is certainly interest from north London.
