The deal is as good as done with all the formalities reportedly out the way.
Wimmer will leave Koln this summer for £4.3 (€6) million which raises the question - if someone is coming in, who will leave Tottenham's already cluttered ranks?
No one knows, but every Spurs defender will have to prove they are worthy of a place at the club if they wish to stay in the summer. One likely candidate for the boot is Younes Kaboul who has been out of favor for several months. The French centre-back looks past his prime and Pochettino might once again be looking to the future by replacing him with 22-year-old, Kevin Wimmer.
The Austrian fits in well with the philosophy at Spurs, it requires high amounts of energy and good technical ability, he has both in abundance. With signings such as De Andre Yedlin (21), Dele Alli (18) and now Kevin Wimmer (22), the North London side are definitely building with the future in mind.
Looking to the future for the glory they so crave looks to be the best option for Spurs fans at the moment. With so many promising young talents, there's no doubt the white side of North London could have a world-class setup in a few short years.
