Everton and Fulham are reportedly keen on signing 24-year-old Austrian international Patrick Wimmer from Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg this year.
According to an update by reputed Italian journalist Rudy Galetti, Everton and Fulham are interested in Patrick Wimmer. The two Premier League clubs are eager to bolster their offensive units by signing a wide attacker in the winter transfer window. So, the 24-year-old VfL Wolfsburg winger has emerged as a target for the two mid-table outfits.
Everton and Fulham have already submitted enquiries to discuss a move for Tulln native. However, they will face stiff competition for his signature, as two other Premier League clubs are also keen on signing the player from Wolfsburg. Additionally, Bologna, Fiorentina, and Lazio are tracking Wimmer’s progress at the Bundesliga club.
Who is Patrick Wimmer?
Patrick Wimmer has established himself as one of the most dependable wingers in the Bundesliga since joining VfL Wolfsburg from Arminia Bielefeld in July 2022. The 24-year-old spent his formative years in Austria and graduated from the youth division at SC Sitzenberg. However, the youngster rose in prominence after moving to Germany a few years ago.
The Austrian winger has a decent record of three goals and six assists in 17 appearances across all competitions this term. Meanwhile, Wimmer’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs. Everton and Fulham are among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the winter transfer window.
London calling?
Patrick Wimmer has been on Fulham’s radar for a long time. The continued interest in the VfL Wolfsburg forward is understandable, as Adama Traore’s long-term future at the West London club is uncertain amid his links with West Ham United. Several candidates have thus emerged on Fulham’s wishlist, with Wimmer also a viable target.
As for Everton, Jack Grealish’s long-term future is uncertain, and recent reports have linked him with several well-known clubs, including AS Roma. Additionally, Tyler Dibling has yet to make his mark since joining Everton from Southampton last summer. So, Wimmer is a viable target for the Merseyside outfit.
The latest report has revealed that Everton and Fulham have already submitted enquiries to discuss a move for the 24-year-old Austrian winger. However, they will face stiff competition for his signature, as two other Premier League clubs are also keen on signing the player from Wolfsburg. Additionally, Bologna, Fiorentina, and Lazio are tracking Wimmer’s progress at the Bundesliga club. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for him.
