Published on January 4, 2020, Nairobi News reported that Victor Wanyama could be headed to Galatasaray in the current transfer window.
Wanyama, the Harambee Stars captain, has become a fringe player at English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur, and Galatasaray are eager to offer him a lifeline.
According to Turkish outlet Takvim, Galatasaray has opened official talks with Spurs over a possible transfer of the defensive midfielder.
Galatasaray coach Fatih Terim is said to be a close friend of Spurs boss Jose Mourinho, which could facilitate the transfer.
Galatasaray are set to part ways with Steven Nzonzi, who has been on loan from AS Roma, and have identified Wanyama as the ideal replacement.
Wanyama's contract expires in 2021, and Spurs are eager to cash in before then, with several clubs interested in signing him, including those in Belgium, China, and Italy.
