Would he be a good signing?

Sanson is certainly showing enough potential in Ligue 1 right now to be under consideration for a switch to a top six side in England.

Still young, and with the versatility to play in a variety of midfield roles, he's a player who appears ready to make the next move in his career.

Rated at £16.2m by Transfermarkt, he could be a shrewd acquisition this summer, with Pochettino capable of polishing him into a player ready to shine at the elite level.
