# Saints to offer Wanyama new deal

Southampton are [reportedly](https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/14176315.Southampton_to_pursue_Wanyama_stay/) set to renew their efforts in a bid to keep want-away midfielder Victor Wanyama for a longer amount of time as the Kenyan enters the last 18 months of his current deal at the club.

It was well documented that Wanyama was looking for a move away from St Mary’s last summer as the powerful midfielder attempted to push through a move to Tottenham at the end of the transfer window with a formal transfer request that was met abruptly by Southampton’s refusal.

However, months have passed and Southampton are looking at a fresh attempt to tie Wanyama down to a new and improved contract.

Southampton boss Ronald Koeman has confirmed Saints’ intentions to retain Wanyama’s services with the club in a recent interview, revealing that he is on the list of players whose contracts are set to be improved and re-offered.

> There are some players on the list when I spoke to Les Reed I know because we had that problem at the beginning of the season that players have also ambitions to play on a higher level.that the club is trying to talk to that kind of player about contracts, longer stay, and Victor is one of them.

> It’s all about if there is really interest in the player and the player gets really interest and he likes to move. I think it’s still too early to talk to the player because he still has a contract after this season. It’s too early now to talk about the situation.

Would you like to see Wanyama stay beyond his current contract?
