Southampton close to signing Celtic's Victor Wanyama in £10million deal

-Adapted from The Sun

Southampton are a step nearer to pulling off a £10million swoop for Victor Wanyama.

New Stoke boss Mark Hughes is also chasing Celtic’s Kenyan midfielder.

But Wanyama, 21, revealed Saints have now agreed a fee with the Scottish champions. And he is poised to open talks with them this week.

The African power- house, who cost Hoops a bargain £900,000 from Belgian club Beerschot two years ago, said: “My club has agreed a deal with Southampton but I will also have to consider terms before I become a Saint.”

St Mary’s boss Mauricio Pochettino has already splashed out £8.5m on Lyon defender Dejan Lovren this summer.
