Wout Weghorst Reunites with Erik Ten Hag at FC Twente

FC Twente have signed Dutch international striker Wout Weghorst from Ajax, bringing him back to the club where he previously played. The move reunites Weghorst with Erik ten Hag, who is now serving as technical director at Twente after his stint at Manchester United.

Weghorst, 32, spent two years at Ajax, scoring 20 goals in 65 appearances across all competitions. He was part of the Netherlands squad for the 2022 World Cup and remains a regular in the national team setup.

Reunion with Ten Hag

The connection between Weghorst and Ten Hag dates back to their time together at Manchester United, where Weghorst was on loan from Burnley in the 2022-23 season. Ten Hag, now FC Twente's technical director, has brought the striker back to the Eredivisie to strengthen the club's attacking options.

• Weghorst joins FC Twente from Ajax in a permanent transfer.
• He scored 20 goals in 65 games during his two-year spell at Ajax.
• The striker has 36 caps for the Netherlands, featuring in the 2022 World Cup.
• Erik ten Hag and Weghorst previously worked together at Manchester United.
• FC Twente aim to bolster their squad for the remainder of the Eredivisie season.

Weghorst will now look to make an impact at Twente, who are competing for a top-half finish in the Eredivisie. The club will hope his experience and familiarity with Ten Hag's methods pay dividends as they push for European qualification.
