Club Record

Weghorst came through with Willem II in the Netherlands but made his senior debut with second division side Emmen in 2012, before moving to Heracles where he debuted in the Eredivisie in 2014.

He joined AZ in 2016 on a four-year deal, scoring 27 goals from 37 games in the 2017-18 season, including 18 in the Eredivisie.

He signed with VfL Wolfsburg in 2018 on a four-year contract and enjoyed a productive spell in Germany, regularly scoring goals and becoming a full Netherlands international.

He joined Burnley in January 2022 on a three-and-a-half-year deal as they battled relegation, but was unable to save them from the drop that season. He subsequently went out on loan to Turkish club Besiktas in July 2022, before Manchester United swooped for him in January 2023 where he played under compatriot Erik ten Hag.

He left United after his loan spell expired, eventually landing another loan deal away from Burnley - who had won promotion back to the Premier League - to join German club TSG Hoffenheim.
