Wout Weghorst could earn big European transfer after scoring Euro 2024 winner for Netherlands with Burnley striker looking to avoid Championship grind

Weghorst recently grabbed headlines with his crucial goal for the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/netherlands-player-ratings-poland-wout-weghorst-memphis-depay-euro-2024/blt8a62c96aacc018ca" target="_blank">Netherlands in their 2-1 victory </a>over Poland in Hamburg. Coming on as a late substitute, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/round-applause-netherlands-super-sub-wout-weghorst-serenaded-netherlands-team-late-winner-against-poland/bltf5f2cf9f0f07c09a" target="_blank">he scored within two minutes, </a>demonstrating his knack for making an immediate impact - reminiscent of his dramatic double against Argentina in the 2022 World Cup quarter-finals, which forced the match into extra time.

WHAT HAPPENED?

According to <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/06/18/wout-weghorst-ajax-consider-netherlands-burnley-striker/" target="_blank">The Telegraph,</a> Weghorst is being monitored by Ajax and could submit a bid for the striker who has one year remaining on his contract with Burnley, having joined the club from Wolfsburg in January 2022. The player is keen for a transfer away from Turf Moor as he does not want to play second-division football in the Championship and a move to the Eredivisie will be a welcome change for the Dutch goalscorer.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Ajax endured a challenging season, finishing fifth in the Eredivisie, a staggering 35 points behind champions PSV Eindhoven. The club is now focused on revamping its squad while also managing its wage bill. Key players like Steven Bergwijn, Chuba Akpom, and Brian Brobbey have been linked with potential moves away from Ajax, creating an opportunity for Weghorst to step in and win over the fans from the opening matchday of the 2024-25 season.

DID YOU KNOW?

Weghorst will look to continue his rich vein of form in Euro 2024 which will further boost his stock. He will be back in action against France on June 21 in their second group stage match.
