This week, the Montreal Impact signed Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Victor Wanyama on a free transfer. He arrives as a Designated Player and should immediately slide into the Impact midfield.
It is somewhat of a coup, the 28-year-old dropping out of the Premier League entirely to join the MLS side when still in his ‘prime’. But this is not a straightforward home-run transfer. There are plenty of questions surrounding the Kenyan.
Wanyama has been plagued with injuries for the last few seasons. And this season, whilst he’s not been recorded to have been carrying any injuries, he has barely featured for the North London club.
