# Crystal Palace interested in Kevin Wimmer

Crystal Palace are interested in signing Kevin Wimmer from Tottenham Hotspur this summer.

That is, according to reports out in Austria, as cited by [Football London](https://www.football.london/crystal-palace-fc/transfer-news/out-favour-tottenham-defender-kevin-13480502) today.

The Austrian has been linked with a move away from North London for some time now, and it was believed that the front-runners in the chase for Wimmer were Southampton.

However, the player himself has insisted that Saints’ interest isn’t actually concrete, which could open the door to a move elsewhere.

It’s claimed that Spurs will demand just €15m for the defender’s signature, which is certainly a plausible price to pay for Frank de Boer should he feel as though his defence needs extra reinforcements.

Wimmer is understood to be keen on remaining in the Premier League, which means that a move to Selhurst Park may be of interest to him.

However, if Palace are to secure Wimmer’s services, they may need to fend off Stoke, who are also touted with interest.
