Victor Wanyama is Spurs’ first big signing of the summer

Euro 2016 may still be raging, but that hasn't stopped Premier League teams from dipping into the transfer market.

This week's big transfer dealing has seen Spurs sign Kenyan midfielder Victor Wanyama from Southampton. The long-rumoured transfer will see Wanyama reunite up with former manager Mauricio Pochettino, with whom he worked alongside at St. Mary's. https://twitter.com/SpursOfficial/status/746070977931517952 The move sees Spurs strengthen their midfield options as they head into Champions League football for the 2016/17 season. With Tottenham's midfield left exposed following their 5-1 defeat against Newcastle on the final day of the season, many Spurs fans have voiced their approval of the signing.
