Aston Villa fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to express their reactions to reports linking the club with a move for Morgan Sanson in the January transfer window.

The Athletic journalist Gregg Evans reported yesterday that Villa are ‘hoping to finalise a deal’ for the Marseille midfielder this month.

Marseille boss Andre Villas-Boas claimed last week that several Premier League clubs have made an approach for Sanson and that the player could leave.

Wolverhampton Wanderers, Crystal Palace and West Ham have been linked with a move for the 26-year-old midfielder, but it seems Villa are leading the race for his signature.

It has been claimed that Sanson could be available for less than £20 million this month as the Ligue 1 side consider letting him go.

Popular football journalist and transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Villa are currently in negotiation with Marseille and they are hoping to secure his signature in the next few days.

Many Villa fans have taken to Twitter to express their reactions about Sanson, and it seems they’re excited about his potential arrival.
