Wout Weghorst is a serious option for Eintracht Frankfurt, as you know BILD to be revealed on Friday. The tall attacker is reportedly even ‘high priority’ for trainer Oliver Glasner, who conquered the Europa League with his club last month. Weghorst wants to leave the Premier League relegated Burnley in any case, where his contract runs until mid-2025. It is not yet known how much Frankfurt wants to pay for the Dutch striker.
Glasner already worked with Weghorst at VfL Wolfsburg and therefore knows the qualities of the attacker (29) who gave the Dutch national team the win against Wales (1-2) in injury time on Wednesday. Lucas Alario has also been linked to Frankfurt, but according to BILD Bayer Leverkusen attacker is seen as too expensive. Former Fortuna Sittard striker Sebastian Polter is also in the picture. However, the talks between Frankfurt and his employer VfL Bochum are not going smoothly.
Wout Weghorst reacts for the first time to ‘the Besiktas rumor’
The striker gave an update on his transfer situation last week.
Weghorst, who exchanged the Bundesliga for the Premier League in January, said in an interview with Football International clear about the alleged interest of Besiktas. “Do not believe everything that is written in the media. The impression is created that I am already in Turkey. There is interest from Germany, Turkey and a number of English clubs from the Premier League. But first I will focus here on the Dutch and perform as well as possible. Then we will talk to Burnley about how to proceed,” said the the Dutch international.
Last month, Weghorst was relegated from the Premier League on a dramatic final day. The 1.97 meter long center striker lost his base place in the last three games of the season and was unable to help his team score a goal as a substitute. Burnley finished eighteenth in the final round of matches against Newcastle United, knocking the Clarets away from the top English podium after six seasons. Weghorst has scored two goals and three assists in twenty appearances for Burnley in the past six months.
