Victor Mugubi Wanyama is a Kenyan footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder or a centre back for Premier League club Southampton and captains the Kenya national team.
On 11 July 2013, Wanyama moved to Premier League club Southampton for £12.5 million making him the most expensive player to be sold by a Scottish club, surpassing the £9.5 million Russian club Spartak Moscow paid for Aiden McGeady in 2010.
