Ronald Koeman to forget Victor Wanyama transfer request

Southampton boss Ronald Koeman says that he is willing to forget about Victor Wanyama putting in a transfer request last month.

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has stated that he is willing to forget about Victor Wanyama's attempt to push through a move away from the club.

The midfielder handed in a transfer request as the summer transfer window drew to a close, amidst speculation linking him with Tottenham Hotspur, but the Saints immediately rejected it.

Koeman has revealed that he has held clear-the-air talks with the Kenya international and he is now ready to return to the team.

"We know that it was a hard fight but I think our statement was very clear to everybody; nobody for sale," Koeman told The Express.

"We know the future, Victor knows the future, and I spoke to Victor yesterday and he's back with a real focus for the team, and if he's back like that, he's part of the team.

"When I spoke to Victor yesterday, already it was a different person than he was in the last week of the transfer window. If the player shows real commitment to everybody at the club, I can forget what happened in the last week."

Southampton face West Bromwich Albion this weekend.
