Tottenham signing Victor Wanyama has spoken of the influence of his family on his career.
Wanyama's brother played for Inter Milan and was infamously denied a move to Manchester City over UK work permit red-tape.
He told the Spurs website: “My dad and my older brother (McDonald Mariga) really played a big part in my career. My brother went to Sweden and then I followed him there and that's how I kick-started my career because I learned a lot of things when I was with him. He taught me a lot and that's how I knew it's not easy to be like him and to achieve what he has achieved. I always had him in front of me and I was following in his footsteps. It was a great way to do it, following what he did and that's what helped me to reach here I think.
"Watching my brother win the Champions League with Inter (in 2010) was really good and from that day my dad has always encouraged me to work harder and make sure I also try to achieve what my older brother did. That's still a dream which I believe one day will come true."
