Tottenham Hotspur have received interest in midfielder Victor Wanyama from West Bromwich Albion.

Wanyama has indicated he has no desire of dropping down into the Championship, the Daily Mail report.

The Kenyan midfielder has been out of action due to injury since November.

Prior to the injury he had made five appearances for Tottenham.

It’s an ambitious approach by West Brom, and one which should concern Spurs, not because it means they might lose him.

Instead it’s a worry because a Championship team has assessed that a player Mauricio Pochettino has selected for a Champions League game this season, that he should be playing for them instead.

Wanyama was part of the Tottenham team which lined up against Barcelona at Wembley earlier this season.

Spurs are hoping to cash in on Wanyama, and West Brom can’t be blamed for trying.

Instead their interest highlights that he is no longer an elite level player, but one who was being lined up as a second tier one.

Spurs should still be able to find a buyer for Wanyama over the next month if he can stay fit. It appears one way or another, he should not have a future at Tottenham.
