‘We should cash in’ – some fans want Tottenham to sell out-of-favour 27-year-old

|

Victor Wanyama made his long-awaited return from injury against Crystal Palace on Sunday but looked rusty as Tottenham fell to a 2-0 defeat at Selhurst Park. While his below-par performance was likely down to his poor match fitness, some supporters don’t believe he’s good enough and said on social media that Tottenham ‘should cash in’ at the earliest available opportunity.

Wanyama has made just eight appearances in all competitions for Tottenham this season, racking up a meagre 385 minutes of football. Prior to Sunday’s meeting with Palace, the Kenyan international hadn’t played since November. He spent two months sidelined with a knee injury but didn’t impress too much on his return.

The midfielder’s form had been waning for some time, leading many to question his long-term future at Tottenham, but Mauricio Pochettino may have a difficult decision to make over the summer. With Mousa Dembele joining Guangzhou R&F, Spurs aren’t blessed with many fit and in-form options.

Wanyama and Moussa Sissoko aren’t 100% while Eric Dier has been short of form. Fans want to see changes made to the squad after eliminations from the FA Cup and League Cup, and Wanyama is one name on most of their lists.
