Victor Wanyama has commented on his Tottenham Hotspur future.
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Victor Wanyama has told Goal that he isn’t paying attention to rumours about his future and wants to enjoy a good season with Spurs next term.
Wanyama, 26, worked under Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino at Southampton, and two years after the Argentinian’s move to North London, Wanyama followed him.
The Kenyan international was a key figure for Spurs last season, scoring five goals in 47 games as he served a strong base for the Tottenham midfield.
However, injury robbed Wanyama this season, as he could only make eight Premier League starts and a total of 24 appearances in all competitions.
The former Celtic man may have been a Pochettino favourite, but recent reports have suggested that Spurs may cash in on Wanyama this summer, with Premier League clubs linked.
The Daily Mail recently claimed that Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are all keen on Wanyama, with a summer move potentially in the pipeline.
Now though, Wanyama has told Goal that he isn’t worried about the rumours, and after suffering a less-than-impressive season, he wants to come back stronger next term, adding that he is happy with Spurs and wants to at least see his contract through.
“I don’t respond to rumours and all those are rumours to me, I still have a contract with Spurs and that is what I want to see through,” said Wanyama. “I did not have a good season with the team because of injury and my aim now is to work hard during this break and return for next season even stronger and help them perform even better.”
“I am happy at Tottenham and I am committed to the team. I am not aware of anything [regarding a move away] and I am very fine and happy where I am,” he added.
