Tottenham midfielder responds to £50m Liverpool talk

Victor Wanyama has stated that he sees his future at Tottenham despite speculating linking him with a move to Liverpool.

Wanyama has endured a difficult season blighted by injury, and it has been claimed that Tottenham are considering selling him.

Reports from last month said that the north London club value Wanyama at around £50million.

Former Liverpool captain and current Rangers manager Steven Gerrard feels the midfielder would be a perfect fit at Anfield, but Wanyama intends to stay.

“I still have a contract with Spurs and that is what I want to see through,” he told Goal.com.

“I did not have a good season with the team because of injury and my aim now is to work hard during this break and return for next season even stronger and help them perform even better.

“Being injured as a footballer teaches you many things about yourself but nothing more so than if you have your health then you have your wealth.

“Money and all the trappings of being a footballer mean nothing unless you have your health and fitness.

“This has been a dark time for me. When Tottenham played Real Madrid at Wembley and I had to watch… I wanted to play so badly, it was probably the lowest point of my career.”
