“When Wout came to us, I said it was a significant and exceptional transfer. Today we can say that this loan was a resounding success. With his quality, his style of play and his attitude, Wout has brought in all the components that we had hoped for from him,” said Alexander Rosen, TSG’s managing director of sport. “He has made a significant contribution to ensuring that we will be represented on the European stage for the fourth time in eight years in the new season. We thank Wout from the bottom of our hearts and wish him all the best for the future.”

The 31-year-old Weghorst made 28 Bundesliga appearances for TSG Hoffenheim in the last Bundesliga season. He scored seven goals and recorded three assists. The 1.94m tall striker also appeared in both of the Kraichgau side’s two matches in the DFB-Pokal.

Weghorst has been playing for the Dutch national team since the start of 2018 and has netted 11 goals in 36 appearances to date. At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, he and his team only lost out to eventual world champions Argentina in the quarter-finals, where he scored two goals during regulation time and netted once in the subsequent penalty shoot-out. He has already made three appearances at the current European Championship in Germany, scoring one goal.

His contract at Burnley runs until 30.06.2025.
