Wanyama’s breathtaking statistics in final MLS stint with CF Montreal

For what would be his last season at CF Montreal, former Harambee Stars captain Victor Wanyama left everything he had on the pitch, including one time when he literally did so after giving out both his jersey top and pair of shorts after their 2-0 win over Charlotte in May, remember?Victor Wanyama sheds light on viral video of him running in underwearA look into his statistics for the just concluded season reveals his enormous contribution to the club he has been at since 2020, both on the attacking front and in the defensive front.Only two players at the club played more minutes than Wanyama the entire season. The Kenyan accumulated 2636 minutes across 32 appearances, just 17 minutes behind Joel Waterman who played 2673 minutes to outrank everyone at the club, and 12 minutes behind Alistair Johnston whose 2648 minutes ranked second.Victor Wanyama linked with sensational return to Scottish giants CelticHe contributed to six goals, scoring once in the two-all draw over Columbus Crew and setting up five others, a deep-lying playmaker perhaps, adding to his impressive passing accuracy of 86.3% behind just Samuel Piette, Waterman, and Rudy Camacho in that order.Despite his defensive midfield role, he had a total of 36 scoring attempts, a number bettered only by forwards Romell Quioto and Kei Kamara, and attacking midfielder Djordje Mihailovic who had 76, 45, and 41 scoring attempts respectively. However, only six of those scoring attempts were on target.The defensive midfielder lived to his role and has the record in the number of tackles won, fouls committed, and fouls won. He won 33 tackles clean, four more than Lassi Lappalainen who had the second-highest.Montreal reveal Wanyama rejected new contract offersThe former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder is a hardy man, going by the number of fouls he committed, 50, which are more than any other player at the club.As tough-tackling as he is, he also invites tackles perhaps because of his ball-playing nature, evidently shown by the fact that he was the most fouled player at Montreal, attracting 65 fouls, 23 more than Mihailovic who came closest. In the entire league, only 13 players drew more fouls than the Kenyan.Safe to say, the Kenyan has been a go-to person on matters tackling for Montreal. A beast.
