Southampton offer for Wanyama accepted

Southampton have had an offer for Victor Wanyama accepted. The Kenyan international's representatives are locked in talks with the Saints regarding a potential transfer for the defensive midfielder.

Celtic's manager Neil Lennon has confirmed that a bid has been accepted. The midfielder is currently on holiday but is eager to make a move to the Premier League.


"What we have done is accepted a bid from Southampton, who are a very good club, a very progressive club," Lennon said. "Personally, I think it would be a very good move for Victor in terms of his career going forward but there seems to be other bodies who want to block the deal.

"The ball is firmly in the court of Victor's representatives. You don't know what's around the corner. I would imagine there would be other interested parties but we've had no confirmation from any other clubs yet."
