LONDON, United Kingdom, July 4 – Kenya’s captain Victor Wanyama has spent his first day at his new club Tottenham Hotspur ahead of the new campaign.
The tough-tackling midfielder, who has signed a five-year deal at White Hart Lane after joining from Southampton for an undisclosed fee last month, was put through his paces at Spurs’ state-of-the-art training complex at Hotspur Way on Monday.
Wanyama will be no stranger to Mauricio Pochettino’s punishing pre-season regime – which often includes double sessions in a bid to get the players ready for his preferred high-press system – after their time together on the south coast.

Spurs are still hopeful of doing a deal to sign Dutch striker Vincent Janssen to help ease the burden on Harry Kane.
Sky sources reported last month that the 21-year-old held talks with Spurs in London after AZ Alkmaar gave permission, but a fee has not been agreed.
