Transfer to Ajax
After an exciting Euro 2024, where Weghorst played a crucial role for the Dutch national team, he continued his career at Ajax. After scoring the winning goal against Poland in the 83rd minute during the Euro, he gained cult hero status among the Dutch national team fans. He was also often used as a super sub by Koeman, which confirmed his value as an impact player. After a difficult period at Manchester United and Burnley, Weghorst signed a two-year contract with Ajax this summer, a dream transfer for the striker who, according to him, had been a fan of the club since he was a child. “I used to wear an Ajax kit when I was a little boy. I can still remember very well that my grandfather was a real Ajax fan,” according to the 32-year-old Weghorst after signing with Ajax. “As a little boy we always went on holiday and drove past the ArenA. I always said: This is where I’m going to play football later.”
