OFFICIAL: Victor Wanyama leaves Tottenham for MLS side Montreal Impact

Wanyama played for the Premier League side from 2016.

Now he will continue his career in the MLS.

Montreal Impact have signed Kenyan international midfielder Victor Wanyama as a designated player after a free transfer on Tuesday with Tottenham Hotspur. He has agreed to a three-year contract and will join the club upon receiving his international transfer certificate and passing his medical.

“When I spoke to [Impact coach] Thierry Henry and he told me he wanted me to join him in Montreal, I didn’t have to think twice,” Wanyama said in an official statement.

“He has always been a player that I’ve admired, and I am really happy to get the opportunity to work with him and to play a part that can ensure that the Montreal Impact have an improved season and hopefully reach the ultimate stages of the competitions in which we compete.”

The 28-year-old player played four seasons with Tottenham, where he had six goals and one assist in 69 regular-season games. He was part of the team that reached the 2018-19 Champions League final, appearing in five games in the knockout stage and starting three. He was unfortunately now used in the final against Liverpool.
