Tottenham Hotspur reportedly discover that it will cost £31.7m to sign Marseille midfielder Morgan Sanson.

Due to the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic, it has been suggested that Jose Mourinho may have to focus on free transfers and loan additions.

However, the North London outfit continue to be linked with potential fresh faces, including Sanson, who has made an impression at Marseille.

According to Le Phoceen, Spurs will have to pay £31.7m if they wish to secure the services of the 25-year-old.

Sanson, who is predominantly used in the centre of the pitch, contributed five goals and four assists in Ligue 1 during the most recent campaign.

Despite Marseille qualifying for next season's Champions League, they may be prepared to cash in on the player.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly intending to follow up their previous interest in Middlesbrough defender Djed Spence.

At a time when Jose Mourinho is assessing the right-back situation at the Premier League outfit, Spence has been making an impact at Boro.

The 19-year-old has made a total of 22 appearances for the Championship side this season, two of which came against Spurs in the FA Cup.

Although Spurs have relented when it has come to making an offer in the past, ESPN claims that an official approach is expected during the summer.

The report claims that Spurs will not be put off if Boro demand, as expected, in the region of £10m for the prospect.

Nevertheless, with just two years left on his contract, Spurs will hope to negotiate a lower fee due to the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic.
