Southampton powerhouse Victor Wanyama has insisted that he has no regrets over his actions last summer, as the Kenyan tried to force through a move to Tottenham.
The 24-year-old midfielder was reportedly keen to rejoin former Saints manager Mauricio Pochettino at White Hart Lane, however it was never in doubt that Southampton would do all they could to keep hold of Wanyama.
In a recent interview, Wanyama spoke of the transfer saga last summer for the first time since, stating that he doesn’t want to have the experience of handing in a transfer request again.
I don’t regret it, but I don’t want to have those experiences again. I want to forget it and to do that I need to help the team and the manager who has helped me as well.
Wanyama was also understanding of how the Southampton supporters may have reacted to his actions in the summer.
If I was a fan I also wouldn’t be impressed if I saw an important player getting interest from elsewhere, but it’s nature, it’s football. The fans have been good, they have backed me and I really appreciate that. Hopefully we will deliver something food for them this season.
I definitely learned from it. I think it was perhaps an important experience. In football it’s normal for things like this to happen, but it shouldn’t have been like that I just want to focus on my football now and help the team.
How good has Wanyama been for Southampton this season?
