Tottenham Hotspur v KAA Gent - UEFA Europa League Round of 32: Second Leg
Victor Wanyama is Kenya's trump card in the tournament

The most-famed name among those who are coming for this much-anticipated tourney, Victor Wanyama plays for Tottenham Hotspur, in the EPL, as a defensive midfielder.

A strong defensive midfielder, Wanyama will have the responsibility to dictate the pace and the tempo of the game and to supply balls to the attackers. He will also have the task to cover the gap between the defence.

Kenyan Football will send a strong squad for the Intercontinental Cup. Wanyama, who is their captain, will have the responsibility to make sure they leave India clinching the trophy.

Wanyama has made 54 appearances for Tottenham Hotspur and has featured 50 times for Kenyan national team.

With Kenya being the hottest contenders, a disappointing performance will not appease the audience. A Wanyama masterclass could make sure they do it.
