Victor Wanyama joins Scottish second tier side Dunfermline

In a shock move, former Harambee Stars midfielder Victor Wanyama has joined Scottish Second tier side Dunfermline Athletic.

Wanyama is not new to life in Scotland, having previously played for Scottish champions Celtic in 2011.

"DAFC are delighted to announce the signing of Kenyan international, Victor Wanyama, on a deal until the end of the season, subject to international clearance," the club stated in a press release.

The 33-year-old defensive midfielder has had a decorated career, playing for clubs such as Celtic, Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur, and most recently, Canada's CF Montreal.

Wanyama made 64 appearances for Kenya's Harambee Stars, captaining the country at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, before retiring from international football in 2021.

At Celtic, Wanyama quickly became a cult hero with his impressive performances for new manager Neil Lennon’s side.

Besides winning two league titles, Wanyama’s stock rose when he scored against Barcelona in the Champions League as Celtic pulled off a 2-1 win in 2012.

At the end of that season, Wanyama joined Premier League club Southampton for £12.5 million, making history as the first Kenyan in the English topflight.

Following a spell at Southampton, he joined Tottenham Hotspur, reuniting with his former manager, Mauricio Pochettino.

Wanyama was part of the squad that made the Champions League final for Spurs back in 2019.
