Former Harambee Stars captain Victor Wanyama has disclosed why he is yet to agree new terms with Scottish club Dunfermline Athletic.

Kenyan midfielder Victor Wanyama has commented about his future at Scottish second tier club Dunfermline Athletic.

Wanyama is yet to agree fresh terms after the club revealed last month that talks are underway with the former Harambee Stars captain, who signed a contract until the end of the 2024-25 season, when he joined as a free agent in March.

The 33-year-old played four matches as Dunfermline Athletic escaped relegation following a seventh-place finish in the 10-team league but the club is highly ambitious and looking to earn direct promotion to the Scottish Premiership next season.

Dunfermline Athletic have put their money where their mouth is after tying manager Neil Lennon to a new contract while signing a couple of players and there is hope that Wanyama will be next but the experienced midfielder is not in a hurry to commit as he seeks some assurances.

Why Is Wanyama Yet to Sign a New Deal?

Victor Wanyama is yet to sign a new deal with Dunfermline Athletic.

“They want me to stay on at the club and I am thinking about it. I have really enjoyed my short stay there because they are a club with a lot of ambition and they want to drive into the Premier League,” Wanyama told Telecomasia.net.

“I am considering it and thinking about it though I am yet to make a decision. The club has laid out the plan for the new season and I will take my time to analyze everything before making a final choice. It would be great to continue with them,” added Wanyama, who appears ready to sign a new deal.

The former Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder joined Dunfermline Athletic after four months out following his release by MLS club CF Montreal last November.

Wanyama is well-known and admired in Scotland following his hugely successful two-year spell at Celtic between 2011 and 2013 when he put in impressive performances under Lennon’s tutelage.
