Tottenham tell Wimmer suitors to sod off

Tottenham have told clubs in the Bundesliga and the Premier League that Kevin Wimmer is not for sale.

An ankle injury to Jan Vertonghen means that Spurs will not entertain offers for the Austrian centre-half who has started just three Premier League games this season.

At the start of the season, Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino preferred youngster Cameron Carter-Vickers on the bench rather than Wimmer.

His representative Mithat Hali told ESPN: “Cologne made an offer. There have been a few offers from the Premier League and the Bundesliga. There is a lot of interest.

“Tottenham do not want to sell. All offers have been turned down and he is staying.”
