Victor Wanyama Celebrated by Premier League on Fourth Anniversary with Tottenham ¶
On June 23, 2020, the Premier League marked the fourth anniversary since Victor Wanyama joined Tottenham Hotspur, a move that was initially met with excitement from the then-boss Mauricio Pochettino.
Wanyama, who currently plays for Montreal Impact in the MLS, was a key player for Tottenham during his time in the Premier League. He was instrumental in the 2016/2017 season, showcasing his defensive midfield qualities and commanding the Spurs midfield with his physicality.
A video shared by the Premier League's official page on Twitter highlighted Wanyama's impressive moments in the Premier League, including his ability to break up play and score crucial goals.
Wanyama's addition to Tottenham in 2016 was a significant move, with the club narrowly missing out on the Premier League title the previous season. However, with Wanyama's addition, the club continued their mesmerising form and finished the 2016/2017 season in second place, only being beaten to the title by a Chelsea side under Antonio Conte.
Wanyama typically retweeted the appreciation post from the Premier League, which read: 'The only Kenyan to play in the Premier League. On this day in 2016, Wanyama joined Tottenham Hotspur.'
