Kevin Wimmer has joined Stoke in an £18million move from Tottenham.

Stoke have paid an initial £15m fee with a further £3m due in add ons for the centre-half.

The Potters have beaten off Crystal Palace and West Brom to land Austrian Wimmer, 24.

He snubbed a move to West Brom as he didn't want to play left-back while Palace have also not given up on signing Mamadou Sakho.

A switch to Stoke will hand Wimmer a fresh start after he failed to claim a place as a regular in the Spurs side.

He joined for £4.3m from Cologne but made just 29 starts in all competitions in two years.
