Ajax are interested in signing Burnley’s Wout Weghorst in the summer window, with the striker keen on leaving Turf Moor on a permanent basis before the deadline.
The Clarets suffered a disappointing relegation from the Premier League last season, and they subsequently saw boss Vincent Kompany depart for Bayern Munich in a surprising move.
So, it was always going to be a hectic period for Burnley, and the hierarchy are still yet to name Kompany’s successor.
Whilst the managerial search continues, there’s a lot of transfer activity going on, and one man who remains on Burnley’s books, but could be on the move this summer, is Weghorst.
The target man joined the club in the January window in 2022 when Burnley were in the Premier League under Sean Dyche, but he struggled in his first few months in England.
Following that relegation, Weghorst went out on loan, and he has had spells at Besiktas, Man Utd and Hoffenheim over the past two seasons.
That latest spell in Germany is over, so the 31-year-old is poised to return to England to join Burnley for pre-season.
However, it seems the Netherlands international could be set for the chance to go back to his home country this summer, as the Telegraph has revealed that Ajax want the striker.
