Tottenham on verge of snapping up Southampton ace Victor Wanyama for £11million as Mauricio Pochettino makes his move
Spurs failed with £18million offer last summer but Saints are ready to cave as Kenyan approaches final year of contract
SPURS are close to completing an £11million deal for Victor Wanyama.
The Southampton midfielder has just a year left on his contract and is set to follow manager Ronald Koeman out of the St Mary’s exit door.
Tottenham are confident in finally securing their long-time target having had an £18m offer turned down for the player 12 months ago.
Wanyama, 24, joined Saints from Celtic for £12.5m three years and is keen to move to White Hart Lane.
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is desperate to add quality to his squad although another midfielder, Nabil Bentaleb, is certain to leave.
Marseille striker Michy Batshuayi could be on his way to north London after revealing he is open to a Premier League move.
The Belgium international is currently at Euro 2016 but could be set for a big-money move when the tournament ends.
However, Tottenham are likely to face strong competition from West Ham as Slaven Bilic goes in search of a marquee forward to lead the line at the Olympic Stadium.
