#6 Victor Wanyama - Kenya & Tottenham Hotspur

Victor Wanyama

Victor Wanyama moved from Belgian club Beerschot to Scottish giants Celtic in 2011 and since then, he has slowly made a name for himself as a defensive midfielder with immense strength and amazing tackling abilities.

He moved to Southampton in 2013 and impressed several top teams during his three seasons with the Saints and in the end it earned him a move to Spurs this summer for just £11m.

Wanyama is a regular started for Spurs and based on the evidence of the season so far, he has displaced Dier as the first choice defensive midfielder. The 25-year-old Kenyan midfielder has made 26 tackles, 18 interceptions, 4 blocks and 25 clearances. Also, for someone who rarely scores goals, Wanyama scored a goal against Crystal Palace on his home debut.
