The 28-year-old was a fringe payer under ex-boss Steven Gerrard with the Liverpool legend having the luxury of numerous central midfield options at his disposal before his dismissal.

The ex-France youth international has struggled for minutes at Villa Park during his two seasons at Birmingham and has only managed 19 appearances in the Premier League so far.

A recent report from Jeunes Footeux stated that Sunderland and Swansea City were both keen on securing a loan deal for Sanson ahead of the January window.
