Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Kenyan professional footballer and ex-skipper Victor Wanyama has denied a possible return to Tottenham Hotspur.<\/p>\n

In an interview with BBC’s Africa Focus, Wanyama said his visit to the football club was just to greet the people he left there.<\/p>\n

Wanyama who plays for CF Montreal added that he has friends and family in London, which is why he regularly visits.<\/p>\n

“London is also my home. I always pass by here to catch up with friends. I have family here,” he said.<\/p>\n

On whether his return to the club was a sign he was coming back, he said, “Not really. That was just like going back to greet the people, as everyone knows spurs is like family to me.”<\/p>\n

During the first weekend of November, the former Harambee Stars captain shared pictures of himself and his wife and their son at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.<\/p>\n

The pictures were widely assumed to be him hinting at a possible return to the club.<\/p>\n

Early October, Wanyama announced that he will not renew his contract with CF Montreal at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Wanyama’s current contract with the Canadian Major League side runs out at the end of this year.<\/p>\n

“Honestly, I think that this question has been long asked and the truth is that at the end of the season I will leave. I had great years here, I enjoyed being part of the team. It’s been great,” he said.<\/p>\n

“At the end of the season I will be free to leave, but as long as I am here I will remain focused and make sure that we finish well and from there I will have a chance to say goodbye.”<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old moved to Montreal in March 2020 after being released by Spurs.<\/p>\n

He has previously featured at Germinal Beerschot AC, Celtic and Southampton FC.<\/p>\n
