Sold for £18M, now worth just £257k: Levy hit jackpot with 6 ft 2 titan at Spurs

It’s difficult to disagree with Daniel Levy’s choice to send this ace off for a sizable sum.

Tottenham Hotspur’s first team roster includes a number of high-profile, wealthy players. Although Harry Kane was sold to Bayern Munich for an initial payment of £82 million in the summer, Ange Postecoglou’s team is wealthy.

Dejan Kulusevski, Micky van de Ven, James Maddison, Heung-min Son, and Cristian Romero. This is not a comprehensive list, but it serves as an example of the quality Tottenham has available.

When Postecoglou first arrived last year, he was given the responsibility of creating something out of wreckage, and he undoubtedly had some strong structure.

Of course, several players on the other end of the spectrum are also active in the N17 league right now. Even if the Spurs have shown that they want to ship struggling players, a few names are still on the roster.

Kevin Wimmer, a still-active Spurs player who was sold for a sizable sum, is at the bottom of that list; Daniel Levy and company’s effort in securing his exit has proven to be exceptional.

Why Spurs’ sale Kevin Wimmer

Former Austrian international Wimmer was acquired by Spurs from FC Koln in 2015 for a fair £4 million, after the defender made 75 appearances in the German Bundesliga and put up some good performances.

The 22-year-old Wimmer had earlier said that it would be a “dream to move” to a team like Tottenham, but this turned into a nightmare when he was unable to leave his imprint over the course of two seasons.

In fact, Wimmer didn’t even make his league debut until January 2016, when he appeared in nine games as an unutilized replacement before getting a chance to start off the bench and going on to start in the rearguard for nine straight Premier League games.

To be fair, he won seven games and kept four clean sheets during this run, but Mauricio Pochettino chose not to give the 6′ 2″ titan a major role before the 2016–17 season, giving him just five features in the top flight. As a result, when Stoke City approached him with an incredible offer, it was obvious that he should cash in.
