Victor Wanyama

Club Brugge are readying a bid for Tottenham midfielder Victor Wanyama, write the Daily Express.

The Kenya international has fallen down the pecking order in north London following the arrivals of Giovani Lo Celso and Tanguy Ndombele this summer.

Wanyama hasn't been involved in either of Spurs' first two matches of the 2019/20 season.
