Harambee Stars captain Victor Wanyama has left
English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur to join Canadian top side Montreal
Impact that is managed by Arsenal legend Thierry Henry in the Major League
Soccer (MLS).
Wanyama ,28, who has enjoyed seven years in the English
Premier League after first joining Southampton in 2013 before moving to Spurs
in 2016, had been dropped from the pecking order in the North London side after
a nagging knee injury kept on recurring.
Wanyama has made just four appearances for Tottenham
this season, with his only start coming in the League Cup loss at Colchester.
“We have reached agreement with Major League Soccer
side Montreal Impact for the transfer of Victor Wanyama. We wish Victor well
for the future. “From the goal in our last game at White Hart Lane to THAT
strike at Anfield, thank you for providing us with some incredible memories,”
the Premier League club said.
The defensive midfielder made 97 appearances for
Tottenham in all competitions and scored seven goals, including the opening
goal in the final game at White Hart Lane.
Impact beat New Engand Revolution 2-1 in their
opening game of the new MLS season on Saturday.
The Canadian club finished ninth in the Eastern
Conference in the 2019 season, well short of the play-offs.
Wanyama became a key player for Spurs after arriving
from Southampton in June 2016, making 47 appearances in all competitions as
Mauricio Pochettino’s side finished second in the Premier League behind
Chelsea.
Spurs agreed a Sh 1.7 billion (£13.6 million) deal
with Belgian side Club Bruges for Wanyama in August, but the move collapsed
before the transfer deadline.
