Wimmer relishes first day of Tottenham training

Kevin Wimmer was delighted on his first official day of pre-season training with new club Tottenham.


The 22-year old Austrian centre-back joined Sours for £4.3million from German club FC Cologne in late May and is excited to have made his home in London as he prepares for his debut season in the Premier League.

"It was always a dream for me to play for a club like this and to play in the Premier League," he said on www.tottenhamhotspur.com.

"Now I'm here, to start training at such an amazing training centre, it's a very good feeling. For a footballer, it can't be better.

"It was such a good feeling to wear my new kit, with the Tottenham Hotspur logo, it makes me very proud.

"My first training session was very tough, but this is what pre-season is about!"

Wimmer added: "I'm really looking forward to the season because I'm enjoying it already on my first day.

"My teammates have all welcomed me - they are all very nice and this is going to be a very good time for me."
