Standing 1.87 m, left-footed and comfortable bringing the ball out, he is a central defender who won 9 caps for Austria and featured at EURO 2016. He has played for Slovan since 2023. His standout quality is the top-level experience accumulated in the Premier League and Bundesliga; the main thing to monitor is risk management in transition defending that demands pace, at 33.

Bundesliga record and win promotion to the Bundesliga in the 2013-14 season. He moved to Tottenham Hotspur in 2015 to play in the Premier League, then joined Stoke City in 2017 and had loan spells at Hannover 96, Mouscron and Karlsruher SC.

Playing Style & Assessment

Wimmer is a centre-back who can build play from the back thanks to the quality of his left foot and who reads positions well. His physical strength and aerial presence are good, and his greatest asset is the game-reading experience gained in top-level leagues. He is a central defender well suited to a modern ball-playing approach.

Strengths

Top-league experience — Having played in the Premier League and Bundesliga gives him a mature reference point for defensive positioning.
Left foot and build-up — His natural left foot provides balanced distribution when playing out from the back.
Aerial command — At 1.87 m and with his positioning, he is effective in both boxes at set pieces.

Development Areas

Pace — At 33, risk management against quick forwards in transition defending that leaves space is important.
Injury history — He has had interrupted spells in his career; continuity should be monitored.
High-line risk — In systems that set an aggressive defensive line, balls played in behind him are a point to watch.

Level Projection

Verdict: One of the most experienced central defenders in the Slovak league; worth considering for Turkish Süper Lig sides after a left-footed, ball-playing centre-back, though his age and pace make the choice of system decisive.
