Top 5 holding midfielders in the English Premier League

#1 Victor Wanyama

Wanyama has been a beast in the Spurs midfield.

The most underrated footballer in England today, Victor Wanyama the first Kenyan who joined the Premier League after he swapped Celtic for Southampton in 2013 under then Saints manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Wanyama went on to make an instant impact in the league during his time at Saint Mary’s, developing the Hampshire side into a top half club.

He matured into a strong, all-round holding player in Ronald Koeman short reign’s as Saints boss, and guided the club to their best ever Premier League finish. Before the start of the new campaign he traded Saints for Spurs. At Spurs, Wanyama will once again get the chance to compete with Europe’s best in the Champions League.

A strong figure in the middle of the park with great passing accuracy and a fantastic header of the ball, in Wanyama, Spurs have signed a player to lead their title charge from the centre of the field and instill a sense of balance to an already star-studded lineup.
