TRANSFER TALK
The Arrival of 21-year-old (22 next June) central defender Davinson Sanchez from Ajax for am initial fee of £37.19 million (€40m - AUS$60.56m - US$48.19m) at today's rates, has allowed Mauricio Pochettino to release 24-year-old (25 in November) Austrian international centre-back Kevin Wimmer.
Wimmer wanted to leave to seek regular first team football in the season leading up to the next World Cup in Russia, although Austria may not qualify, and felt he wasn't getting enough opportunities at Tottenham.
WBA wanted to use him as a left-back but Mark Hughes has stepped in and strengthen his defence by quickly securing Wimmer on a 5-year deal for a reported £18 million (€19.39m - AUS$29.36m - US$23.34m). That is quite a profit considering he is only a squad player and arrived from Cologne for £4.3 million (€4.63m - AUS$7.01m - US$5.58m), again at today's conversion rates.
He provided us with generally dependable cover, any youngster is going to make mistakes as he learns, but he did a good job when he stood in for an injured Jan Vertonghen the season before last. He hardly got a look-in last season though, but you didn't hear him complaining.
I'm sure most Spurs fans wish him every success at Stoke City, except against Spurs of course.
