Former Harambee Stars captain Victor Wanyama has opened up on his biggest career regret, expressing disappointment over not winning a trophy with what is widely considered Tottenham Hotspur’s best squad in recent years.Reflecting on his time at Spurs, Wanyama laments the missed opportunity to secure silverware, particularly during the 2015-2016 and 2016-17 seasons when they came close but were ultimately outpaced by Leicester City and Chelsea to the Premier League title.##NAJAVA_MECA_8311865##Under the guidance of Mauricio Pochettino, the Spurs squad between 2016 and 2019 was widely regarded as one of the club’s finest in the Premier League era.The team featured standout players like Harry Kane, Hugo Lloris, Kyle Walker, Danny Rose, Mousa Dembele, Christian Eriksen, Heung-Min Son, Jan Vertonghen, and Toby Alderweireld. Despite their talent and potential, the team narrowly missed out on major honours, finishing third in the 2015-16 season as Leicester City claimed the league title, and then coming in second the following campaign, falling short to Chelsea.”My only regret from that era is that we did not win a big trophy,” Wanyama shared in an interview with FIFA Media.”We had everything to do it, but just couldn’t pull it off. We had a great team and a great coach in Mauricio. We showed we could beat anyone. I remember one season (2016-17), we didn’t lose a single home game. That’s how good our team was.”Gor Mahia centre back welcomes stiff competition for places at heart of defenseWanyama, who remains the only Kenyan player to have featured in the English Premier League, also spoke about the pride he felt seeing the Kenyan flag in the stands during matches.”To see my country’s flag raised in the Premier League, which is maybe the best league in the world… That was a huge thing. I felt very humbled.”The 33-year-old also praised his former Spurs teammate Harry Kane, calling him the best striker he has ever played with. “Harry’s finishing is second to none,” he said. “You saw it in training; he is so clinical. I have not seen another striker like him. He’s also a very professional player. He does all the right things. His game understanding, movements, and runs are just top.”Nairobi football clubs to receive financial boost from county in new bill
