In his first full season in the Premier League, the Netherlands captain has already made many memorable moments. From winning the FA Cup to a hat-trick against Chelsea, he has had a lot to live up to. Here are his top moments from the Premier League so far.
Against Manchester United
Wout Weghorst is one of the players rumoured to be joining Manchester United on loan, and he could have a big impact on the team. The former Besiktas striker has a lot to offer, and he may be the solution to some of United’s goalscoring woes.
He has impressed with his fitness levels and physical data. His performance against the Red Devils is a good indication of his abilities.
The 30-year-old’s agent says the deal is ‘almost complete’. However, he does not want to comment on the details of the move.
Currently, the Red Devils are in need of a goalscoring option to help boost their chances of making the top four. Having already spent a larger-than-expected sum of money on a striker last summer, they are looking for a creative player who can add value.
Besides Alvaro Morata, the Manchester United manager is also interested in Vincent Aboubakar and Joao Felix. While there is no certainty they will make the move, they are keeping an eye on Weghorst.
Against Chelsea
Wout Weghorst has been a player of interest to Manchester United this season. The Dutch striker has been linked with a move to the Red Devils, and although he has yet to make his first-team debut, he has been a constant presence in the Burnley squad.
However, despite his impressive performances, the 27-year-old striker’s role as a goal-scorer has been limited. He has not scored since February, eight games ago, and has not taken more than one shot in a match.
While Chelsea have been unbeaten in their last 10 games, the Blues have failed to score a goal in their last six. That is a worrying sign for a side that has not won a trophy in nine years.
On Saturday, the Clarets travelled to face Brighton and they beat them 3-0. It was a good performance, but it was not enough to prevent Burnley from falling out of the relegation zone.
Despite the win, the Clarets are still two points adrift of seventh-placed Southampton. With four games left, they will need a boost.

Against Liverpool
Wout Weghorst is a German footballer who plays for Burnley. He was part of the team that drew 1-1 with Manchester United in midweek. However, he has yet to score for the Clarets. His presence on the pitch will add physicality to Sean Dyche’s line-up.
In terms of the Premier League, the simplest citation for a ‘wow’ moment would be his goal against Brighton & Hove Albion. The 6ft 5in striker provided the assist, which saw Fabinho bundle in the rebound of Pope’s save.
It was also his performance in the build-up to the equaliser that drew the biggest praise. This included three dribbles and two perfect weighted passes.
Another impressive feat is his ability to drop into pockets of space. Those who watched him in his Wolfsburg days will know his work rate.
There was a time when he was one of the fittest players in the Bundesliga. His ability to score goals in the Super Liga was also exemplary. During his time with the club, he registered the most shots on target and the most touches in the opposition box.
Against Burnley
When Wout Weghorst arrived at Burnley in January, many fans saw him as a potential aerial threat. However, he has yet to hit the heights expected of him. In fact, he has only played 180 minutes for the club, but has managed to produce some flashes of quality, such as against Brighton and Watford.
He is a very good ball-carrier and has the ability to turn and carry the ball at speed. He is also a quiet character off the pitch and has a good understanding of English.
After a tough start to the Premier League season, the 22-year-old has been able to find some form. His first goal in the top-flight came against Brighton. Then, on the south coast, he helped Burnley secure a victory.
Although the Belgian has scored only three times since his move to Turf Moor, he has been a key member of the side. Not only has he helped create chances for his team, he has provided two assists.
