Bayern had revealed on Sunday that the 31-year-old was set to leave the Bundesliga champions for last season's runners-up.And Wolfsburg have now revealed that the defender has joined them on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

"We are pleased that Dante has decided to join Wolfsburg," the club's sporting director Klaus Allofs said.

Southampton block Wanyama exit

Southampton are working round the clock to prevent Victor Wanyama from leaving the club, Goal can reveal.

A source close to Wanyama confirmed that Southampton held a closed-door meeting with the Kenya captain and his agent on Monday to try and convince him to stay at St Mary's after the midfielder handed in a transfer request on Friday.

The 24-year-old was absent from Sunday's 3-0 win over Norwich, with Saints boss Ronald Koeman confirming beforehand that the midfielder was not "mentally and physically good enough to play" amid mounting speculation of a move to Tottenham.

The source told Goal: "Wanyama wants out. He has made up his mind. He wants to play for Tottenham and that is for sure. The only problem we have is that Southampton are not willing to let him go. They are short in midfield after letting Morgan Schneiderlin join Manchester United."The Saints are complaining that releasing Wanyama now will be a bad move because they cannot get a better replacement."

The source also confirmed that Southampton had enticed Wanyama with an improved contract worth double his current salary, but the midfielder's future remains uncertain for now.

The source said: "The Saints have promised to double Wanyama’s pay to convince
him to stay. It is a very disturbing scenario but we hope a solution will be reached by the end of transfer window. For now his exit from Southampton is 50-50."

Koeman revealed at the weekend that Wanyama, who joined the south coast club in 2013, told him he wanted to leave St Mary's during a team meeting last week.
However, the Dutch coach remained bullish over his chances of keeping both Wanyama and Sadio Mane at the club this season.

Wanyama only has two years left on his current contract but, having already lost Schneiderlin this summer, Southampton would demand a substantial fee for a player who cost £12.5 million in 2013.

The 24-year-old has previously praised the impact that Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino had on his career, having played 24 times under the Argentine in his maiden campaign in England at Southampton.

Manchester United-bound Martial has 'big potential' - Deschamps

France coach Didier Deschamps believes Anthony Martial has "big potential" - although must play first-team football at Manchester United.

Martial had arrived at Clairefontaine to link up with the senior squad for the first time ahead of international friendlies with Portugal and Serbia, although has since been given permission to travel to England.

And Deschamps feels the 19-year-old - who only agreed a new four-year contract at Monaco in June - has the makings of a leading player should he complete his move to Old Trafford.

He said: "Obviously, he is a player with a big potential. He was just called up to the national team.

"Is it the right choice for Anthony? He is going to a big club. We will keep following him. He will be in another planet, another galaxy. It's up to him to progress and gain some time to play."

France Under-21 coach Pierre Mankowski believes United are signing an 'innate talent' who is 'unstoppable' with the ball.

He said: "He is a talent. When he takes the ball, he is unstoppable. But he is still young. He has a lot of things to work on. But since he has this innate talent, it means he has a bright future.

"It's up to him to prove with the senior national team and with his new club. He has everything to become a great player. But he needs to do everything every day to be at the top level.

"Am I surprised? Yes and no. I have been thinking for a long time - with the games he has played - that he will reach another level. I don't know if it's too soon but it is the right moment."

West Ham working on late triple swoop, but set to miss out on Moses

West Ham are hopeful of completing three transfers prior to Tuesday’s deadline but appear to have missed out in the race to sign Chelsea winger Victor Moses, Goal understands.

The Hammers originally tabled a £6 million bid for the Nigeria-born forward, but refused to meet the Blues’ £15m valuation, and subsequently offered to sign Moses on loan.

Slaven Bilic’s side agreed to pay Moses’ £70,000-per-week wages in negotiations over the weekend but sources have since revealed that an unnamed club has made a move to “gazump” the Hammers. Both West Brom and Tottenham have been linked with the 24-year-old.

West Ham remain optimistic that the deal can be salvaged but have opened talks with Nottingham Forest over the potential signing of Michail Antonio for a fee understood to be in the region of £7m.

The club have previously seen an offer of £5m rejected by Forest, who were keen to sign Matt Jarvis in part-exchange, and it is understood that the former Wolves man will not be included in the deal should negotiations reach a favourable conclusion.

The Hammers are also continuing to search for a striker, having previously targeted the likes of Emmanuel Adebayor, Simone Zaza and Burak Yilmaz, and are close to completing a deal for Hull City forward Nikica Jelavic.

Bilic is keen to bolster his strike force and the two clubs have agreed a fee of £2.5m plus add-ons for the Croatian, who scored eight Premier League goals last season.

Reports over the weekend also suggested that the club could miss out on the signing of Alex Song with Spurs reportedly also taking a keen interest in the Barcelona midfielder, but Jack Sullivan - son of West Ham co-owner David Sullivan - confirmed Song's arrival via Twitter on Monday evening.

Song is currently recovering from ankle surgery, though the injury was not thought to be prohibitive to any potential transfer.

Official: Sevilla loan Andreolli from Inter

Sevilla have confirmed the signing of Inter defender Marco Andreolli on a season-long loan.

The centre-back, 29, joined the Nerazzurri on a free transfer in 2013 but has featured only 19 times since then, and was not considered part of Roberto Mancini's plans for 2015-16.

There were reports in Italy that he might join Fiorentina but, on transfer deadline day for La Liga and Serie A, Andreolli joined the Europa League holders with an option to purchase at the end of the season.

"Sevilla and Inter have reached an agreement for the loan-and-possible-purchase of Marco Andreolli," the club said in a statement on Monday.

"The Italian centre-back, 29, has played the last two seasons for the Nerazzurri without having enjoyed many opportunities. Last season he played 13 official matches in Serie A.

Aulas: Lyon set to earn €10m from Martial's Manchester United move

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas says Anthony Martial's proposed move to Manchester United will earn his club an initial €10 million in sell-on fees.
