Victor Wanyama’s Mind Boggling Million Figures In His New Deal That Will Make You Want to Remove Your Hair

As you go through your hustle this chilling Nairobi morning, it might be encouraging or maybe quite perplexing to know that a lad who grew up in the appalling slums of Muthurwa is earning in a week what even the top end CEOs in Kenya cannot make in a month.

Of course I am talking about the Lion of Muthurwa Victor Wanyama. Having passed his medicals for his new club Tottenham, Victor Wanyama has not only earned himself the prestige of getting to elite European Football and all that comes with it but also he has taken a swift move up the big money leagues. His current earning is what places him in the bracket of second highest earners in the EPL that is those from £70k- £85k a week.

His earnings are set to jump from his current £40k a week to £70k a week. This is roughly 10.4 million KES a week which means slightly over a million in a day. Over the course of the new four year deal he is set to earn £14.6 million translating to 2 billion KES. 

To put in context just how lucrative this is, of all Arsenal’s defenders, only Per Mertesacker earns £70k a week. His central defender colleague Koscielny takes home £65k a week, Nancho Monreal takes home £50k and the young Bellerin takes home just £10k a week. Compared to the earnings of players at Livepool, he takes home more than the likes of Emre Can,Lallana, Kolo Toure, and their keeper Mignolet.

He will undoubtedly be among the top earners at Tottenham where the likes of Eriksen, Eric Dier Chadli, Lamela and Dembele all earn less than £70K a week. This is surely a big move from the lion of Muthurwa.
