Wimmer fell out of favour as the campaign went on, however, with his last game for Stoke coming as a substitute in the 3-0 defeat to Manchester United on January 15.

The 25-year-old - who signed for City from Cologne for £4.3m in 2015 - now joins a Hannover side that finished 13th in the German top flight last season.
