Ronald Koeman: 'Victor Wanyama not leaving Southampton in January'

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has insisted that the club will sell no players in January, including sought-after midfielder Victor Wanyama.

North London sides Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have both been linked with the 24-year-old, but Koeman is certain that he will remain a Saints player for the rest of the season at least.

"They can prepare whatever they like to prepare," Koeman told reporters when asked of January interest in the Kenyan.

"Don't spend time trying to buy a player from Southampton because it's impossible."

Midfielder Wanyama, who joined Southampton from Celtic in summer 2013, still has a year-and-a-half left on his Saints contract.
