Kenyan football fans are abuzz with excitement at the prospect of Victor Wanyama thriving under new Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho, who was confirmed on November 20, 2019.
Wanyama, a midfielder for Harambee Stars, was an isolated figure under his previous manager Mauricio Pochettino, who seemed to prefer other players for holding midfield duties.
However, Mourinho's defensive style of play, which has been successful in the past, might suit Wanyama's skills, as the 56-year-old manager is known to appreciate physical players like the Kenyan.
Wanyama was heavily linked with a move away from London at the start of the 2019/2020 season, but the deal with Belgian side Club Brugge broke down, leaving him to fight for his place in a competitive Spurs midfield.
