Harambee Stars captain Victor Wanyama has been named in Tottenham Hotspur's Uefa Champions League squad for the group stage matches slated for September 17 to December 11, 2019.

According to information published on the European Football governing body (Uefa) website on September 4, all the 32 teams competing at group stage have submitted their squads, including Tottenham, who were keen on offloading the Harambee Stars skipper.

Wanyama was expected to leave Spurs before the European summer transfer window closed on September 2.

But, that did not happen and he is on the list of midfielders the club plans to use, with others being Christian Eriksen, Lucas Moura, Dele Alli, Erik Lamela, Moussa Sissoko and new signings Giovani Lo Celso, Ryan Sessegnon and Tanguy Ndombele.

The Kenyan skipper, whose progress has been hampered by injuries in the last two seasons, nearly joined Belgian side Club Brugge, but the deal fell through.

Reports indicate that Brugge and Spurs had agreed on a Sh1.5 billion transfer fee. Wanyama had even agreed personal terms with Brugge.
