10 Africans unsettled in the English Premier League: #5 Victor Wanyama
The January transfer window is a few weekends away. In our anticipation and excitement of possible moves, we have taken to lay down 10 “unsettled” African stars in the English top flight, the Premier League. As we continue with the countdown, Kenya’s Wanyama occupies the fifth player on the list.
Is Wanyama risking pulling off an "Obi Mikel" at Tottenham?
He is a rare Kenyan gem, the first to play in the Premier League after arriving from the Scottish Premier League. Wanyama had a flying start to a Tottenham career under Pochettino, scored some thunderbolt goals too but now faces risk of being a permanent bench warmer.
