Wanyama nears Spurs exit following West Ham links – and fans are shocked

Plenty of fans are expressing their surprise as Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Victor Wanyama is on the verge of joining Jupiler Pro League side Club Brugge.

According to Sky Sports News, Spurs have agreed a £12million deal that would see the commanding midfielder depart for Belgium before the European deadline.

Plenty of surprised football fans have taken to social media to have their say on the imminent transfer, and the general consensus is clear…

READ WEST HAM’S VERDICT

There were reports near the end of the English transfer window that West Ham United failed in a bid to secure his services on loan, so has a trick been missed?

Funds must have been tight for the Hammers at the end of the window because £12million for a player of Wanyama’s quality seems a steal.

Sure, injuries have tarnished his last few years in North London, but on his day he’s still a top-class midfielder and would certainly provide solid competition for Declan Rice.
