Brighton and Eintracht Frankfurt pursue Wolfsburg's Patrick Wimmer
Summary

Wolfsburg's Patrick Wimmer is reportedly set to leave the club following their relegation to the 2. Bundesliga. Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League have expressed interest and may have made an offer, while Eintracht Frankfurt also aims to secure the forward. Hoffenheim has joined in the pursuit, initiating negotiations with Wimmer’s representatives.
