Victor Wanyama transfer teaser as former Celtic star's brother hypes major announcement

Exiled Victor Wanyama is set to announce a decision on his future this week.

The former Celtic midfielder looks poised to leave Tottenham having fallen well down the pecking order under Jose Mourinho.

Wanyama was linked a return to Parkhead in January but the club tied up a £2million deal for Ismaila Soro from Israel side Bnei Yehuda.

The 29-year-old Kenyan was denied a late loan switch to Ligue 1 side Amiens on transfer deadline day and has remained in London.

He has now, however, qualified for UK citizenship and brother Harry Wanyama insists all will be revealed in "two or three days".

He told People Daily: “It’s a normal thing for a footballer to get British citizenship after playing or staying in the country for at least five years.

"Victor’s agent Ivan Modia will announce whether he will be leaving Spurs or not and which club. He is to make the announcement in two or three days.”

Wanyama is yet to play under Mourinho and was cut from Spurs' Champions League squad following the Portuguese coach's arrival.

He last featured for the club in a 7-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the group stage, appearing for just 12 minutes.
