it'd be very difficult trying to put a price on him. There have been no indications he can play regularly, or at a high level for some time now. At his best he'd be worth over 30 million in the current market, but surely any buyer would just be gambling as to how likely he is to get back to full fitness.

Such a shame that he had those injuries. He was absolutely magnificent in that first season with Dembele. I really hope he can continue to have a good career.

I think a prime, fit Wanyama is one of the best DMs in the world. He and Dembele absolutely monstered teams that one season. Sadly his knee problems seem serious and reports are that it's degenerative.

Yeah actually I did him a disservice. I forgot how ridiculous the current market is. If those reports are correct then nobody will be signing him. I guess we'll soon see

Think its a gamble for any team but probably worth a £10-15m punt for a lower table team because if he can get fit and give you 20-25 games then you have a very good CDM.

Could see him going on loan rather than a transfer.

I can’t see anyone putting their hand in their pocket for more than 10m. Absolute tops.

Just love big Vic. One of my recent favorites in a Spurs shirt, but, no room for sentimentality. Hope he gets a decent move and some luck with his fitness.

Just need him off the books. He's been crocked since the summer of 2017. Any suitors would be fantastic. Skipp is a much better option going forward.

Given his injury problems over the past two seasons, in which he barely played, I'd even venture to say it would be around 5 - 7M.
