Victor Wanyama’s Partner Pens Heartfelt Tribute to Retiring Harambee Stars Legend
Victor Wanyama’s partner Serah Teshna has showered praise on the Harambee Stars legend following his retirement from football.
Wanyama hung his boots when he announced his retirement from football on Friday, ending a career that spanned 19 years.
The midfielder has been lauded for a wonderful career from all over the world and his soulmate has also weighed in, praising the 34-year-old for his great dedication, discipline and sacrifices that made him highly successful.
“I’ve watched the sacrifices, the discipline and the passion,” Teshna posted on Instagram. “So proud of you, my love. You’ve carried the badge with strength, dignity and heart. A legacy that will live on. Excited for you and your new chapter. Let’s go!”
Teshna and Wanyama have been together for nearly 10 years as she supported the footballer throughout his career with their union blessed with two sons.
Wanyama Played at Some of Europe’s Top Clubs
Wanyama’s football career started when he was at Kamukunji High School before joining the JMJ Academy and then at Nairobi City Stars, AFC Leopards.
He moved to Swedish side Helsingborg in 2007 and less than a year later, he joined Belgian side Beerschot AC where he made 56 appearances before a move to Glasgow Celtic in July 2011.
After two years, Wanyama earned a move to Southampton in the summer of 2013, signing for a reported £12.5 million, making him the first Kenyan to ever play in the English Premier League.
Another two years followed before the popular midfielder moved to Tottenham Hotspur, making 97 appearances for Spurs in all competitions, and then a nearly five-year spell at CF Montreal.
Wanyama earned 64 caps for Harambee Stars and captained Kenya to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, their last appearance at the continental competition.
