The 6 foot 2 centre-back joined the White Hart Lane ranks last summer in a £4.3million deal from FC Koln but has gone on to register just one appearance in the Premier League, largely due to Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen’s impressive partnership at the heart of defence.

Schalke were linked with the 23-year-old earlier this month and club chairman Clemens Toennies claims he’s in talks with Wimmer over a Veltins Arena move.As quoted by The Express, he told Sky Germany; “Our focus is on Kevin Wimmer and John-Anthony Brooks. We are in advanced talks with both of them.”

However, Sky Sports claim the Austrian international will not be allowed to leave White Hart Lane this month.
