FOOTBALL Victor Wanyama reveals why he snubbed Arsenal for Southampton
The former Harambee Stars captain has revealed why he snubbed Arsenal despite being offered a deal by Arsene Wenger’s side to join Southampton in 2013.
As reported by Athletic, the deal nearing its conclusion is reportedly valued at £25 million (Ksh 5 billion) including additional performance-related add-ons.
Spence, a player with Jamaican and Kenyan heritage, had rejoined Spurs last week following an earlier loan spell at Leeds United in the English Football League (EFL) Championship.
His time at Leeds was marred by a knee injury, limiting his appearances and prompting an early return to his parent club. Despite his challenges, Spence's potential remains high in the eyes of Tottenham's management.
