Opinion: Victor Wanyama would be a good signing for Aston Villa

Aston Villa are reportedly keen to sign Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Victor Wanyama in the January transfer window.

Last week, Daily Record (h/t the Birmingham Mail) reported that Villa are weighing up a move for the Spurs midfielder.

The 28-year-old has fallen out of favour under Jose Mourinho and the north London club are willing to let him go before Friday’s deadline.

According to reports from the Evening Standard, Tottenham wanted around £17m for the Kenya international during the summer. They lowered their valuation to £9m at the start of this month, and could be willing to sell him at a reduced price.
