West Ham eyeing move for Tottenham’s Victor Wanyama

West Ham United are readying a January offer for Tottenham midfielder Victor Wanyama, according to Football Insider.

Wanyama’s Tottenham stint

27-year-old midfielder Wanyama has been on the books of Spurs since 2016.

However, following a stellar debut campaign with the North Londoners, during which he racked up 35 Premier League starts, Wanyama has since found game-time far more difficult to come by.

A combination of injury troubles and competition for places saw the Kenyan manage just 8 league starts last season.

And Wanyama has since followed his disappointing campaign last time out with an equally dismal start to the current season, with the former Celtic and Southampton man having appeared for a grand total of just 57 minutes in the English top-flight to this point.

Wanyama to West Ham?

And, as per the aforementioned report from Football Insider, one club looking to take advantage of Wanyama’s struggles in North London are Tottenham’s capital rivals, West Ham.

FI cite a ‘well-placed source’, who claims the Hammers:

‘Have shortlisted Wanyama as they look to bring in central midfield reinforcements.’

As such, West Ham’s board are said to be ready to lodge an offer for the Kenyan powerhouse in January.

West Ham vs Tottenham

Coincidentally, West Ham and Spurs are actually set to face off tomorrow night, in a Carabao Cup Last-16 clash at the London Stadium.

Visitors Tottenham will be hoping for an immediate bounce-back performance following their disappointing 1-0 loss to Manchester City last night.

Hosts West Ham, meanwhile, will no doubt have been encouraged by their last outing, which saw the Hammers only denied 3 points at Leicester by an 89th-minute equalizer, despite Mark Noble’s first-half red card.
