Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly working on a deal to ship Victor Wanyama. According to the Sky Sports News Live Transfer Blog [10:33], Spurs are struggling to find a club for Wanyama.

The Kenya international has slipped down the pecking order under Mauricio Pochettino. Injuries have held back his progress and the arrival of Tanguy Ndombele has cast doubt on Wanyama’s future.

With Eric Dier, Oliver Skipp, Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko also able to play in central midfield, Wanyama could be shipped out. But Spurs need to find a club willing to take him.

Bournemouth, Brighton and Burnley have all been mentioned as potential destinations. But Bournemouth have signed Phillip Billing, Brighton are on the verge of signing Aaron Mooy and Burnley are trying to seal a loan move for Danny Drinkwater.

Wanyama joined Spurs from Southampton in 2016, having played for Celtic before his move to England. He has played over 150 Premier League matches and has a total of 93 Tottenham appearances to his name.

But his three-year stay in North London could be set to end. If Tottenham can find a club for Wanyama, he might leave before the 5 PM deadline. It remains to be seen whether Spurs will try to sell him or loan him out.
