Former Liverpool player: Tottenham are struggling without Wanyama

Danny Murphy has questioned the decision by Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino not to use Victor Wanyama more often.

Speaking to TalkSport, former Liverpool player Murphy insists Wanyama should have been used a lot more by Pochettino.

“Good signing [for Brugge if he moves], I like him," Murphy told TalkSport. “He's a very, very good player. They are struggling a bit, aren't they? I say struggling, it's been an average start.

“He is exactly what you need when you are struggling. Someone who can come in and put his foot in. He can play as well and he can get the odd goal.

“I'm surprised Tottenham didn't use him more because a couple of years ago, him and Dembele had a partnership in the centre of midfield, which was phenomenal. It was.

“[Wanyama] had a couple of injuries, so maybe he's just struggled to come back the same. But good luck to him.”
