Wanyama rules out Spurs exit

A knee problem suffered in pre-season meand the Kenyan got the campaign off to a nightmarish start, before going on to make just eight Premier League starts all season.

That lack of action lead to reports that he could depart the club this summer as manager Mauricio Pochettino looked to refresh his squad, but speaking to 'Goal.com', the 26-year-old said that he isn't going anywhere.

"I still have a contract with Spurs and that is what I want to see through," he explained.

“I did not have a good season with the team because of injury and my aim now is to work hard during this break and return for next season even stronger and help them perform even better."

Meanwhile, Wanyama said that his time on the sidelines had taught him a valuable lesson.

"Being injured as a footballer teaches you many things about yourself but nothing more so than if you have your health then you have your wealth," he added.

"Money and all the trappings of being a footballer mean nothing unless you have your health and fitness.

"This has been a dark time for me. When Tottenham played Real Madrid at Wembley and I had to watch... I wanted to play so badly, it was probably the lowest point of my career."
