Goal.com: Reds interested in Celtic star Jun 23rd 2013, 14:08 This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club. Liverpool, Everton and Cardiff City have joined Southampton in the race for Celtic midfielder Victor Wanyama. The Scottish champions have accepted a bid of around £12 million from Southampton for Wanyama, who excelled in last season's run to the Champions League knock-out stage. The sum represents a huge profit on the £900,000 Celtic paid to acquire Wanyama from Belgium side Germinal Beerschot in July 2011, and is understood to exceed their initial asking price of £10m. The first Kenyan to play professionally in the UK, Wanyama has a long-standing ambition to become his nation's first Premier League footballer. His preference, however, is to be allowed a choice over his next club. Prepared to invest aggressively in their first top-tier campaign in over 50 years, Cardiff are willing to pay the 21-year-old a higher salary than Southampton, but believe that Celtic have over-priced his transfer fee. The Kenyan's contract at Parkhead expires in 2015 and he has declined offers to extend it. Source: Goal.com This story has been reproduced from today's media.
