Spurs Offered Saints Less Than They Paid For Wanyama Says Le Tiss

Saints legend Matt Le Tissier has revealed that Spurs were never likely to get Victor Wanyama after offering less than Saints paid for the Kenyan.

Speaking on Sky Sports transfer deadline day programme, Le Tissier gave an interesting insight into the speculation surrounding Victor Wanyama and a possible move to Spurs, a revelation that will dismay Spurs supporters who thought their club had some clout in the transfer market but are now finding out that their club was merely trying to placate them.

"Wanyama got a little bit unsettled with all the talk about Tottenham," Le Tissier said on Sky Sports News.

"But as far as I’m aware there was only one bid from Tottenham, which was quite a few weeks ago now.

"From what I’m aware, it was less than they paid Celtic for him so it was never going to be considered."

The worrying thing for Spurs fans is that Daniel Levy offered less than what Saints paid, even the most delusional Spurs fan would not expect to sign a player of Wanyama's class for less than he was worth two year ago especially after those two years saw him establish himself as a top Premier League player.

They will realise that their board was never serous about signing the player, but after wasting so much money on a series of flops over the past couple of years was loathe to pay out too much.

But there is finding a bargain and being realistic and Levy's tactics in th Wanyama situation will anger not only Saints supporters who even more so now see it as a blatant attempt to unsettle the player, but Tottenham fans who after a poor start must be worried that their club may struggle to better sixth place this season
