The 'Lion of Muthurwa' star is said to cruise in a Volkswagen Crafter CR53 Maxi worth Ksh30 million while in Kenya.

The state-of-the-art German vehicle has a couple of stunning features including ten seater rotating chairs, 3D TV screens with sports channels, exterior CCTV cameras among others.

Other cars owned in his possession include a Hummer H3, Lexus V8, Jaguar, and a Cadillac Escalade Platinum 2011.

Wanyama lives in Winchester, a small city in England devoid of media glare which suits the footballer who often prefers to live a private life.
