Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a fee of \u00a311m for Southampton midfielder Victor Wanyama, BBC Radio Solent understands.<\/p>\n
It is thought the 24-year-old Kenyan, who joined Saints in 2013 for \u00a312.5mfrom Celtic, is poised to undergo a medical with the White Hart Lane club.<\/p>\n
The move would reunite Wanyama with his former Saints boss Mauricio Pochettino.<\/p>\n
Wanyama asked to leave last summer after interest from Spurs but stayed at St Mary’s and helped Southampton to a sixth-placed finish.<\/p>\n
The imposing central midfielder made 85 league appearances for Saints, scoring four times.<\/p>\n
If the deal goes through he will become Tottenham’s first summer signing as they prepare for their return to the Champions League.<\/p>\n
Wanyama signed for Celtic from Belgian club Germinal Beerschot for an undisclosed fee in July 2011 having moved to Europe from Kenya to join Helsingborg of Sweden in 2007.<\/p>\n
