Wanyama Speaks

After the issues of the past week or so Victor Wanyama has spoken in his native Kenya about his intentions on his return to England.

Quoted on Kenyan website www.capitalfm.co.ke Wanyama hs said.

"I will fully concentrate on Southampton since I have a contract with them running. It didn’t affect me in any way. I’m still a Southampton player and I will give my best when I go back and hopefully, we will win more games.

"It has been difficult for the team when I was away but things will be alright. These things happen but I’m good to go,”

He continued

"Our intention was to do well in the play-offs in my first appearance in the tournament but we have to focus to return to Europe next season,”

"It was disappointing but we have to move on. We have a young team and we had to get experience and come next season we hope it will be better,”

Promising words from Wanyama who although a little non committal about what the future holds, did not indicate that he intended to move on at the earliest opportunity either.

What it did suggest though is that Wanyama is just as likely to be at St Mary's next season than not, that like any quality player he is open to all options, but like any professional he will do his best for whatever club he is contracted to.

The problem for Saints these days is that as they get a better squad, you get players with ambition and that means they want to keep on improving the clubs they are playing for, no one should blame Wanyama for being flattered by Spurs alleged interest indeed I would rather than he had that ambition inside him than not that is what makes a quality footballer, the drive to keep striving for the top.
