The current Kenyan skipper is one of the best midfielders that the country has ever produced. He currently plays for English side Tottenham Hotspur coached by Portuguese maestro Jose Mourinho.

He became the first Kenyan to play in the English Premier League when he joined Southampton in 2016 from Scottish giants Celtic for a record fee of £12.5 million making him the most expensive ever player sold by a Scottish club.

Victor Wanyama became the captain of the national team at a tender of 22-years old and has been instrumental in the country's resurgence in the last couple of years. Under his leadership, the Harambee Stars defeated Ghana to qualify for the first CAF African Cup of Nations for the first time in 14-years.

His technical ability and composure have added a much needed calm to Harambee Stars midfield. His physical presence provides cover to the defence hence improving the team's stability.
