Wout Weghorst

Wout Weghorst

Wout Weghorst attacks space and drops deep to link plays as Ajax's centre-forward. Wout Weghorst holds up the ball under pressure, enabling methodical builds. He presses high and recovers well. Wout Weghorst, a Netherlands international, broke through at Emmen, Heracles Almelo and AZ Alkmaar before his Wolfsburg rise. A peak run at Wolfsburg from 2018 to 2022 established him as a goalscorer. The January 2022 Premier League move to Burnley marked a turning point in his career. On loan at Manchester United, Weghorst helped win the League Cup. Back in the Netherlands with Ajax, Weghorst has seven goals this season and remains a mobile target man who creates space for the wingers.
