Spurs ace Son Heung-min says he misses £18m man ‘so much’, Mauricio Pochettino sold him

Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min has admitted he misses Kevin Wimmer “so much” and believes every Spurs player does too.

Wimmer became Tottenham’s first signing of the 2015 summer transfer window when he joined from Koln for a reported £4.3million, penning a four-year contract.

However, the Austria international struggled for regular game time under Mauricio Pochettino.

In 2017, the Argentine sold Wimmer to Stoke for a reported £18million after just 31 competitive appearances for Spurs.

Son struck up a great friendship with Wimmer and, not long after his departure, told the Evening Standard he was sad to no longer be working alongside his “best friend”.

On Thursday, the South Korea international was handed the Spurs Twitter reins for an online Q&A session with fans.

One supporter asked him how much he missed Wimmer, and he replied: “So much! I think every Tottenham player misses him!”

It’s a shame from a personal perspective how a player who sounds like he was universally liked in the Spurs dressing room was moved on, and that he’s still missed by Son over three years on is testament to what a good guy he is.

What’s worse is that Wimmer has barely had a look-in at Stoke, with just 19 competitive appearances – none this season either – and two loan spells whilst on the Potters’ books, so it looks as though his future lies elsewhere.
