# Celtic: Fans react to reports of potential return of Victor Wanyama

**[Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/revealed-65000-a-week-pl-star-keen-to-join-celtic-in-january/) reported that Tottenham midfielder Victor Wanyama is open to rejoining Celtic in the January transfer window if a deal can be agreed, with that news relayed to followers of the [@celticbible](https://twitter.com/celticbible/status/1182323461714259968) Twitter account.**

According to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/revealed-65000-a-week-pl-star-keen-to-join-celtic-in-january/), a source from within Celtic has said that the Kenya international is keen on a reunion with Hoops boss Neil Lennon, [under whom Wanyama played](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/victor-wanyama/leistungsdatentrainer/spieler/77760) in his first spell at Parkhead.

[Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/revealed-65000-a-week-pl-star-keen-to-join-celtic-in-january/) added that a loan move was more probable than a permanent deal, with Celtic unlikely to be able to pay the 28-year-old’s £65,000-a-week wages.

According to the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7415363/Tottenham-midfielder-Victor-Wanyama-facing-anxious-wait-amid-doubts-13m-Club-Brugge.html), the Hoops had hoped to get Wanyama in on loan before the summer transfer window in Scotland closed on September 2nd.

The Tottenham midfielder scored [13 goals in 91 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/victor-wanyama/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/77760) for Celtic in a two-year spell at the club [between 2011 and 2013](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/victor-wanyama/transfers/spieler/77760), but has been [plagued by knee problems over the last two seasons](https://www.footballinsider247.com/revealed-65000-a-week-pl-star-keen-to-join-celtic-in-january/) and has made just [three appearances for Spurs in the current campaign](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/victor-wanyama/leistungsdaten/spieler/77760).

Celtic fans were excited about the prospect of Wanyama potentially returning to Parkhead on Twitter.

These supporters would welcome him back with open arms:
