#4 Victor Wanyama

Stoke City v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League
Wanyama doesn't shy away from a crunching tackle

Good luck trying to shove the big Kenyan off the ball. Victor Wanyama is a man-mountain who could put you in a heap with one push.

Standing 6 feet tall, the Tottenham Hotspur man made his name as a no-nonsense defensive midfielder at Southampton before moving to London. He reunited with his first Southampton manager, Mauricio Pochettino, at Spurs, and Poch brought out the best in him.

Wanyama is extremely strong and as a result, wins almost every midfield battle, irrespective of who he is up against.

Tottenham missed him for a long period this season, as he was out due to injury. When he returned, he found his spot captured by Eric Dier.
