Victor Wanyama latest as former Celtic star's 'loan agreement' sees Tottenham take huge wage hit

Amiens have agreed a deal to take Victor Wanyama on-loan, according to a report in France.

Record Sport understands Celtic did not open talks with Tottenham earlier on Friday, contrary to claims made down south.

Wanyama appeared likely to remain in the Premier League but now France Football report Spurs will allow him to join the Ligue 1 strugglers, as well as paying a whopping 70 per cent of his wages.

The 28-year-old is believed to have been waiting in London for a decision over his future.

Spurs boss Jose Mourinho insists Wanyama's professionalism has been "untouchable" thoughout a difficult spell.

He said: "If he is not playing it is because in my eyes, and that is always different but in the end always the head coach that makes the decisions.

"In my eyes I see more the team going to the future with young Winks, English, young, national team player. I see more the team going in that direction.

"A great investment on Tanguy Ndombele which sooner or later has to arrive to certain levels of performance. So it is not easy for Victor.

"But staying with us, if he stays and normally he stays, working hard like he does every day, untouchable on his commitment and professionalism. If he stays with us he is always on my plans.

"At this moment we don't have any offers, we don't have Victor knocking on our door asking for understanding in a situation to leave."
