Tottenham are reportedly ready to let Victor Wanyama leave the club on loan before tonight’s deadline.
While there has been no mention of any specific clubs in the running to sign the player, the news has piqued the interest of supporters up and down the country.
A number of Newcastle fans have even taken to Twitter in a bid to encourage the club to get a deal done before the deadline.

There have been no reports of interest from Newcastle, but this should certainly be a deal that they pay some attention to.
If you consider that Isaac Hayden’s future remains uncertain, a move for Wanyama could allow him to move on, without the club sacrificing any quality in the squad.
Wages may be an issue for Newcastle, but he’s a player with Premier League experience under his belt and is ready to go with game time looking unlikely at Spurs going forward.
He may have had his fair share of injury problems of late but he’ll be keen to put all that behind him ahead of the start of the new campaign.
