This is Tottenham’s 2016/17 Christmas review

Player of the Season – Victor Wanyama

Tottenham have had many excellent performers so far this season, with the likes Jan Vertonghen, Danny Rose, and Son Heung-min producing the goods for Spurs.

However, Victor Wanyama has come in from Southampton and slotted seamlessly into the Spurs midfield, with the likes of Mousa Dembele and Eric Dier restricted to the bench at times this season.

The Kenyan international has occasionally been used as the main defensive midfielder in their 4-1-4-1 formation, which is an endorsement in itself, but he and Dembele have also struck up quite a partnership when they’ve started together.

Wanyama has also had to steady the ship when Dembele has been injured and Dier was roped into playing at the back, and he’s done well whenever he’s been called upon by Pochettino.

He has been an ever-present in the Premier League thus far, and looks set to be a key part of the side for many years to come.
