Harambee Stars Captain Victor Wanyama on Friday addressed Kenyans directly from London, after completing his move to English Premier League's Tottenham Hotspur from Southampton.
In the video uploaded on the official Spurs' website, Wanyama expresses gratitude to his Kenyan fans in Swahili for their support and at the same time anticipates playing at the White Hart Lane.
“Habari zenyu wakenya wote na ningependa kuwarudishia shukrani kwa support ile mmenipa...na pia naeza washauri mjoin spurs..na mkuje msupport spurs..tutashukuru na hopefully tutakua na season poa….na tutazidi kuinua kenya na mkue na siku njema," he said.
Relatively translated as: "Hi Kenyans..I want to thank you for your support and I encourage you to join the Tottenham fan base...I will continue flying the Kenyan flag high and hope for a good season. Do have a good day".
According to media reports, the tactical midfielder's move is approximated to have cost Sh1.6 Billion though neither of the two clubs has confirmed.
Reports by the British media also indicate that Wanyama could earn up to Sh35 Million monthly after signing the 5-year contract.
