Published on August 23, 2019, Victor Wanyama's future at Tottenham Hotspur has been uncertain, with the team's manager, Mauricio Pochettino, preferring to play Moussa Sissoko and Eric Dier in the midfield.
Wanyama's absence from the team has been largely attributed to his consistent niggling injuries and fitness concerns, which have seen him miss about half of the club's competitive matches in the past two seasons.
Despite interest from English clubs West Ham and Wolves, Turkish clubs Fenerbahce and Galatasaray, and an unnamed French club, it now appears that Club Brugge are in the driving seat for his signature.
The recent signing of Tanguy Ndombele from Ligue 1 side Lyon and loanee Giovani Lo Celso from Spanish side Real Betis has made competition for playtime more intense for Wanyama.
Wanyama's move to Belgium could be a step back for him, as Club Brugge is not as highly rated as Tottenham Hotspur. However, it may be beneficial for Harambee Stars, as he is likely to get more playtime and familiarize himself with the game.
Wanyama's career has been improving step by step, with moves from AFC Leopards to Celtic FC and then to Southampton before joining Tottenham Hotspur. However, moving from Tottenham Hotspur to Club Brugge may be a step back for him.
