July 23, 2019, marked a significant day for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Victor Wanyama as Turkish Super Lig club Fenerbahce expressed interest in signing him.
Wanyama, the Harambee Stars captain, has been struggling with injuries in the 2018/19 season, managing only 22 appearances for Spurs.
According to Turkish publication Fanatik, Fenerbahce club director of football Damien Comolli will meet with Spurs representatives to discuss a potential deal for the Kenyan midfielder.
Wanyama has two years left in his contract with Spurs, and the Turkish club will need to make an attractive offer to convince Spurs chairman Daniel Levy to part with the player.
Comolli's familiarity with Levy, having previously worked at Tottenham, could be an advantage for Fenerbahce in their pursuit of Wanyama.
At his best, Wanyama is exceptional in ball distribution, creating space, and disrupting the opposition's attacks.
Wanyama's current market value is at €20 million (KSh 2.3 billion) after Spurs acquired him from Southampton for £11 million (KSh 1.4 billion).
