Joins Nice on permanent deal

May 15, 2024
Sanson has agreed on a permanent transfer to join Nice from Aston Villa, his old club announced Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Sanson has been out on a season-long loan with Nice all season, appearing to be appealing enough for the team to pull the trigger and buy him after his season on loan. He appeared in 28 matches this season for the French club, gaining the start in 23 of those contests, registering two goals on 20 shots and three assists on 42 chances created. That said, he should join the club fitting into the starting XI immediately, likely gaining more minutes with Nice than he would've next season with Villa if he stayed.
