Stoke bid for Tottenham defender, Hughes shelves other targets

Stoke City have jumped to the head of the queue to sign Tottenham defender Kevin Wimmer.

West Brom and Crystal Palace have also been linked with the Austrian international, but the Telegraph says Stoke have lodged a £15 million bid for the player.

Davinson Sanchez’s arrival from Ajax earlier this week pushed Wimmer further down the pecking order and the 24-year-old is said to be keen on a move away.

West Brom’s interest in signing Wimmer had cooled, with manager Tony Pulis prioritising signings in other areas of his squad.
