Wanyama swaps Tottenham for MLS as midfielder joins Impact on a free transfer

Tottenham midfielder Victor Wanyama has joined the Montreal Impact after falling out of favour at the north London club.

The 28-year-old joins the Impact on a free transfer as a Designated Player on a three-year deal.

Wanyama will link up with the Impact once his medical is completed and international clearance is processed.

He spoke of his excitement at a fresh start alongside the Impact's famous coach, ex-Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, where he will become the club's second Designated Player alongside fellow midfielder Saphir Taider.

"I’m really happy to join an exciting club like the Montreal Impact," Wanyama said.
