The Saints came from a goal down to get the better of Spurs 2-1, thanks to a double from Steven Davis.
“Imagine a world where Virgil, Mane, Wanyama AND Ronald sign contract extensions and this squad pushes on together next season… #saintsfc,” Ben Stanfield @BenStanners twitted.
“Why would the likes of Wanyama and Mane want to leave us? We are a club on the up! #saintsfc,” Phil Smith @PSmith1994 wrote.
“@sadiomane_fan Manè is unbelievable on his day, but feel we have already brought Wanyama’s replacement with Romeu and Reed in the academy,” Max @SFCMax_ stated.
“Genuinely think Wanyama is one of our worst players technically. Anything upward of 10 mil and out the door #saintsfc,” Oscar Easton @Ozzyeaston said.
