Early life


Sanson was born in Saint-Doulchard, Cher.[4]


Club career



Le Mans


Ahead of the 2012–13 season, Sanson was promoted to the senior team by manager Denis Zanko and assigned the number 25 shirt. He made his professional debut on 3 August 2012 in a league match against Dijon, replacing Idrissa Sylla with only ten minutes to play.[5] He scored his first league goal on 22 December 2012 against Monaco in a 2–3 home loss.[citation needed]


Montpellier


On 12 June 2013, Sanson signed a four-year contract with Montpellier for a reported fee of €700,000.[6][7] He made his debut for the club on 14 September 2013, in a 0–0 draw against Stade de Reims.[8]


Marseille

On 17 January 2017, Sanson joined south coast rivals Marseille by signing a four-and-a-half-year contract, for an initial fee estimated to be €9 million, plus €3 million in bonuses.[9][10] On 5 March 2017, he scored a goal in the 56th minute in a 4–1 Ligue 1 away win against Lorient - his first Ligue 1 goal for Marseille.[11]

On 3 May 2018, he played in the Europa League semi-finals away to FC Red Bull Salzburg as Marseille played out a 1–2 away loss but a 3–2 aggregate win to secure a place in the 2018 UEFA Europa League Final[12] which was played at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais,[13] and saw his team lose to Atlético Madrid.[14]


Aston Villa


On 26 January 2021, Sanson signed for English Premier League side Aston Villa on a 4+12-year contract,[15] for a fee believed to be £14 million, with £1.5 million in add-ons.[16] On 3 February 2021, Sanson made his Aston Villa debut as a late substitute in a 3–1 defeat to West Ham at Villa Park.[17] On 4 April 2021, Sanson suffered a knee injury midway through the second half in a 3–1 victory over Fulham which ended his season prematurely.[18]

On 31 August 2021, Sanson made his return from injury as one of the permitted overage players for Aston Villa U21s, in a 3–1 victory over Wycombe Wanderers in the EFL Trophy.[19] On 22 September 2021, Sanson returned to the first team in an EFL Cup tie against Chelsea – but he was forced to leave the field before half time after a recurrence of his injury.[20] The arrival of Steven Gerrard as Aston Villa manager coincided with Sanson regaining fitness and he started in the Premier League for the first time in 8 months on 26 December 2021. Gerrard described how Sanson had been disappointed with the start to his English football career, but he had assured him that he was aware of his talent, despite Sanson's fleeting appearances up until that point.[21]


International career


Sanson is a France youth international having represented his nation at under-19 and under-21 level.[22]
