Tottenham have told Belgian outfit Club Brugge that they will need to stump up £17 million to sign Victor Wanyama, according to Evening Standard.

The midfielder is down the pecking order at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and is likely to depart.

Since arriving from Southampton for £11.5 million in 2016 (Evening Standard), Wanyama has started just 47 league games.

The signing of Tanguy Ndombele hasn’t helped the 28-year-old’s case for first-team football, along with several injury misfortunes.

Club Brugge are hopeful of landing the Kenyan. At the moment, however, they are only preparing to offer £8 million for his services.

There is also a stumbling block over his £65,000-a-week salary (Evening Standard). If a loan deal can be struck Tottenham could end up subsidising a chunk of his salary.

Given the excessive valuation places on the head of Wanyama, his future remains uncertain.

Tottenham fans are desperate to see the midfielder depart, with many feeling that his time is up at the club.

The £17 million bounty placed on the player’s head has got Tottenham supporters talking on Twitter, however.

Many feel they will do very well to recoup the money that Daniel Levy wants for a player who has struggled for the last couple of years.

Here is a selection of tweets from Spurs fans regarding Wanyama:
