Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen has hailed the impact of Victor Wanyama this season.

Vertonghen believes the Kenyan star is the reason why his own partnership with fellow Belgian centre-half Toby Alderweireld has been so rock solid.

He said: “I'm such a big fan of Victor's.

“If you look as well how it works with Mousa Dembele or Harry Winks, for a centre-back it's a dream.

“It makes it a lot easier for us to keep clean sheets.

“I'm impressed by his physical qualities — but he is also strong with his feet."
