Victor Wanyama, the Kenyan midfielder who recently joined Southampton in the Premier League, will be wearing the number 12 jersey for the upcoming season. Wanyama’s move from Celtic to Southampton for €12 million marks the most expensive transfer in the history of the Saints. As the first player from East Africa to compete in the prestigious English championship, Wanyama is expected to be a notable figure in the upcoming season.
Having been voted the “Best Young Player” in the Scottish championship last season, Wanyama is considered a promising talent both for Kenya’s national team, Harambee Stars, and on the continental stage. His coach, Adel Amrouche, expressed confidence in Wanyama’s abilities, praising his calm demeanor, hard work, and natural leadership. Amrouche even went so far as to predict that Wanyama could become the future best player in Africa.
