West Ham put Sanson move on hold

West Ham have reportedly put a move for Olympique de Marseille midfielder Morgan Sanson on hold.

The Ligue 1 side are said to be keen on offloading the Frenchman this summer as they look to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations, and reportedly value Sanson at a fee in the region of €35million.

However, according to France Football, the Hammers have cooled their interest in the 24-year-old, who is also a target for La Liga side Valencia.

Sanson scored five goals and assisted four from midfield in all competitions last season, making 37 appearances for Marseille.

The 24-year-old is said to be one of three high profile players that the Ligue 1 side are looking to offload this summer, with both Kevin Strootman and Lucas Ocampos linked with respective moves away.

West Ham have already confirmed the signing of Pablo Fornals this summer, and the midfielder looked impressive for Spain as they won the European Under-21 Championship last weekend with a 2-1 win over Germany.
