Tottenham must look to sell Victor Wanyama.
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Moussa Sissoko’s good form has been a surprise and welcome boost for the club.
It has been much needed with Tottenham teammate Victor Wanyama struggling with injuries.
Wanyama has been out with various knee problems over the past 18 months, and has found it difficult to string a run of games together.
There must be some sympathy afforded to the Kenyan, but Tottenham also need to be ruthless.
Over the past one and a half seasons, Wanyama has barely contributed to the first team.
Aside from his wonder-strike against Liverpool earlier this year, Wanyama has done nothing of note when he has been fit.
Last season he made only eight Premier League starts, and this season he has only one to his name, playing just 147 minutes of first team football.
He was unfit to feature against Inter in the Champions League this week, with manager Mauricio Pochettino saying he was ‘worried’ about the midfielder.
Wanyama is a popular player and had a strong first season after his 2016 move from Southampton, but since then, while Sissoko has kicked on, he has gone backwards.
If Tottenham are able to, they need to try and sell Wanyama in January, and free up wages and a squad space, and replace him with a player who is fit and healthy and able to contribute.
