Having signed Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon last summer, Tottenham look set to raid the French market once more according to the latest reports.

Le10Sport claim that Jose Mourinho's side are closing in on a deal to sign Marseille's Morgan Sanson, with the midfielder's agent Pini Zahavi having a good relationship with the current Spurs manager.

Can you name every one of Spurs’ top goalscorers from the past 15 seasons? It’s a tricky one…

Sanson had been a virtual ever-present for Marseille before Ligue 1 was cancelled, making 30 appearances across all competitions, and scoring five goals and providing five assists too.

And after hearing about the update on their links to the £20.25m-rated ace, Spurs fans took to Twitter to share their reactions.

A few supporters couldn't quite believe that Spurs are interested in another player from France, with a couple bringing up the names of Benjamin Stambouli and Clinton N'Jie, who played a combined total of just 39 games before leaving.

One Spurs fan meanwhile seemed particularly frustrated by the fact the club seem to be targeting another central midfielder, instead of addressing a more pressing area of concern like up front.

Unsurprisingly, a few Spurs fans seem to have a sense of deja vu when it comes to potentially signing Sanson.

The club have had their fair share of bad signings from France, including the likes of Stambouli and N'Jie. And with Ndombele having a rocky first season with the Lilywhites too what with Mourinho taking to publicly criticise him, there isn't much excitement surrounding a move for Sanson.
