Victor Wanyama officially open street named in his honor in Tanzania
The Tottenham midfielder attended a football tournament in Ubungo and had the road in Dar es Salaam leading to the Kinesi Stadium named after him. The 25-year-old was holidaying in the neighbouring African country after being named the most influential football in his Kenyan home. The down-to-earth Spurs star was mobbed by fans under his new street sign and he thanked the mayor for the honour. The softly-spoken powerhouse said: “Thank you for the Mayor and all the Ubungo Municipal residents for welcoming me and giving my name to a local road name. “I promise to come back with thanks for the hospitality you have shown me. Thank you Tanzania.”
