Wanyama nominated for January African Player of the Month

Harambee Stars captain and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Victor Wanyama has been shortlisted alongside Chelsea’s Nigerian winger Victor Moses and Manchester City’s Yaya Toure for the English Premier League African Player of the Month of January. He is joined by Tottenham Hotspur’s Victor Wanyama from Kenya and Yaya Toure of Manchester City.

In a month where a good few of African players have left their clubs to take part in the Africa Cup of Nations, Moses, Wanyama and Toure have kept the African flag flying with impressive performances for their respective clubs.

Wanyama has been solid for Spurs, guiding them to a highly respectable place on the table and helping as they remain the side with the least losses in the league and the best defensive record so far.

A lot of Tottenham’s resilience has been down to his input.

Likewise, it has been a good season so far for Victor Moses who has made the shortlist on five occasions and won the award twice in a row late last year.

Yaya Toure on the other hand, has continued to impress in spite of the start of his time under City’s manager Pep Guardiola, and his club has profited from his experience and effort.

Fans can vote on various media platforms for their favorite candidate for the award.
