Stoke City have officially confirmed the signing of Kevin Wimmer from Tottenham Hotspur. Austrian international Wimmer joined Spurs in 2015 for a little over £4m and after 15 league appearances for the club, has been offloaded to the Potters for £18m.
Wimmer found it tough to dislodge the likes of Alderweireld and Vertonghen at the Lane and has put pen to paper a five year contract at the Bet365 Stadium. Spurs also picked up Davinson Sanchez from Ajax in the summer, thus pushing the Austrian further down the pecking order.
Stoke boss Mark Hughes has worked hard to strengthen his defence over the summer, and Wimmer’s signing follows that of Kurt Zouma (Chelsea) and Martins Indi (loan deal made permanent)
