Kevin Wimmer has admitted that his lack of first team opportunities mean he is willing to leave Tottenham, but he ideally wants to stay in the Premier League.
Despite signing a new five-year deal last summer, the Austrian defender struggled to force his way into Mauricio Pochettino’s team, and came under criticism when he did feature.
Wimmer is convinced that he needs to play regular football at the age of 24 in order to progress, and the availability of the left-footed centre-back is sure to alert a number of clubs both in England and on the continent.
“It would be the most beautiful to stay in the Premier League,” he told Sky Sports Austria.
“Twenty-four years is exactly the age at which it is most important to play regularly and not only have to train week after week and have to sit down on the bench at the game.
“In the next few days and weeks, the main focus will certainly be placed on offers, and we will definitely look around.
"It’s time to look for something, where the chances of regular play are again higher.”
Southampton are reported to have an interest in Wimmer, which would only intensify should they lose Chelsea and Arsenal target Virgil van Dyke.
