Victor Wanyama transfer tease as former Celtic star's brother hypes announcement

Tottenham midfielder looks set to leave the Premier League side having been denied a loan move to France in January.

Wanyama was linked a return to Parkhead in January but the club tied up a £2million deal for Ismaila Soro from Israel side Bnei Yehuda.

The 29-year-old Kenyan was denied a late loan switch to Ligue 1 side Amiens on transfer deadline day and has remained in London.

He has now, however, qualified for UK citizenship and brother Harry Wanyama insists all will be revealed in "two or three days".

He told People Daily: “It’s a normal thing for a footballer to get British citizenship after playing or staying in the country for at least five years. Victor’s agent Ivan Modia will announce whether he will be leaving Spurs or not and which club. He is to make the announcement in two or three days.”

Wanyama is yet to play under Mourinho and was cut from Spurs' Champions League squad following the Portuguese coach's arrival.

He last featured for the club in a 7-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the group stage, appearing for just 12 minutes.

Hmmmmmm.....

So are we to conclude that he'd dragged his heels over a move to secure a visa?

He joined Celtic in 2011, so has had plenty of time to qualify for a UK visa (thought it was 5 years) if he had chosen, unless numerous visits out of UK meant he missed out on some rules about continued residency here.

But he's made enough money to get in on some sort of golden/investor visa if he chose I'm sure

Had numerous chances to leave - including a very good one to Club Bruges for £12m and £65k (£3m+ pa) pw almost agreed with his former team mate and manager there last summer which would have given us cash and a spare 'overseas trained' place, we've paid him £6m - £9m for not playing over the last few years so wouldn't have been an unreasonable exit for him

I'm aware of this....

I'm just wincing at the idea of having to offer a loan as a sweetner in order to convince a no-mark team to take Vic for free.
 
Yes he was a fine player a while back and injuries are brutal. But it also seems like this is way overdue, so whilst it's good for both parties, it feels like he more than milked it.

When he was at South Coast Big Club, he was always the first name on my Fantasy Football team sheet.
He was unplayable back then.
Can't believe he is only 28.
Good Luck Vic.

A deal for Wanyama was agreed with Club Bruges in the summer for £12m with Wanyama getting £65k pw (£3m pa) on a longer contract (3 years ?) than at Spurs, the manager at Bruges being an old team mate of his. But Wanyama let the offer lapse.

That's a very reasonable offer turned down by Wanyama, after 2-3 years not playing football at Spurs and we've paid him £6m - £9m for the privilege.

I'm pleased he is gone and I don't really have great memories about him.
That screw up in the Chelsea game still bugs me.
