The defensive midfielder himself has had some iconic moments for Spurs. His goal at Anfield on 4 February 2018, when he hit a thunderbolt from 25 yards that flew into the top corner in a 2-2 draw against Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will forever remain in the hearts of Spurs fans.

The Kenyan International was also a part of a Tottenham team that finished second, third, fourth and then sixth in his four seasons.

His debut season for the Lilywhites was also impressive – he was a key component in the club’s best season in the Premier League, where they finished runners-up on 86 points in 2016/17.

In that campaign, he started 35 out of 38 games, missing just two, as Spurs were beaten just four times all season, and went unbeaten at White Hart Lane in the Premier League.
