Wout Weghorst’s Anticipated Transfer to FC Twente

omidbasir- Expectations are high for Erik ten Hag at FC Twente, particularly regarding the anticipated transfer of Wout Weghorst to De Grolsch Veste.

Wout Weghorst appears set to transfer to FC Twente as his contract with Ajax nears its end. According to Voetbal International, a deal between Twente and Weghorst this summer could be mutually advantageous. The 49-time international, who has scored fourteen goals, is currently under contract with Ajax, and there is no news about a new agreement. Following the departure of Arnold Bruggink as technical director six months ago, both his predecessor and successor, Jan Streuer, will leave the club this summer. The new technical head at FC Twente will be able to engage in discussions with Weghorst without the weight of a failed transfer negotiation, and Ten Hag has long admired the player’s character.

Previously, Weghorst signed a contract with Ajax, leading to disappointment among FC Twente supporters, who booed him at De Grolsch Veste. Streuer commented on the situation, noting, “FC Twente supporters can become angry quickly. Phrases like ‘Weghorst is never welcome here again’ are common. However, I am confident that if such a player were to join us, the sentiment would change entirely. That reflects the Twente temperament.”
