Tottenham and FC Koln still negotiating over Wimmer fee

Kevin Wimmer has revealed that Tottenham are continuing to negotiate a transfer fee with FC Koln for his services.

Spurs are keen to sign the 22-year old Austrian centre-back but first have to agree terms with the Bundesliga outfit where Wimmer is under contract until the summer of 2019.

Of the potential move to White Hart Lane, the one-time Austria international told Laola TV: "The two clubs have yet to agree because of the transfer fee. They are still negotiating.

"It would be a dream to move to a top club like Tottenham.

"For me, the transfer is a big step. A step with which I can develop myself. That's why I want to take the chance," he continued.

"I'm not someone who wants to stop developing. That is why England would be the next step. I'm playing in Germany. This is pretty much the best league in the world.

"The English Premier League is the only one that can match that. For me, the English league would be a great challenge. There I can develop, because it's very demanding. I'm a fan of English football."
