Manchester United stunned the world when they signed Wout Weghorst on loan from Burnley this season. Now the latest Weghorst transfer news suggest he could be at Everton next season.
Sean Dyche was able to keep Everton in the Premier League this season after winning on the final day. Now, Dyche is tasked with building a team that won’t be threatened by relegation and is looking up the table rather than down.
One player that is on their radar is Weghorst. The Dutch striker’s parent club is Dyche’s old club Burnley who recently won the Championship. However, it doesn’t look like he has a future at the Lancashire club.
Weghorst spent this season with Manchester United after Erik ten Hag brought his fellow countryman to Old Trafford due to their lack of strikers.
Despite giving 100% every time he pulled on the Manchester United shirt, things never really got going for him. In all competitions Weghorst scored two goals, neither of which came in the Premier League.

The latest Weghorst transfer news confirms that ten Hag doesn’t to keep the striker, but he may still have a future in the Premier League.
Weghorst Transfer News: No Luck In Manchester But Maybe In A Neighbouring City
Weghorst’s failures at Manchester United wasn’t from a lack of trying. The Dutchmen never looked likely to fit into the counterattack style ten Hag got his team playing.
At just short of 6 foot 6, Weghorst is built for direct football. This isn’t to say he can’t play with the ball at his feet, he has shown he can throughout his career. He just lacked the pace that Manchester United were looking for, which explains the latest Weghorst transfer news.
Dyche is known for his direct style of play. It’s a style of play that kept Burnley in the Premier League for so long. Again, this isn’t to say his teams can’t play football. Dyche can get his teams playing with the ball when the time is right.
But given their style of play, Dyche and Weghorst may be a match made in heaven. That’s why the latest Weghorst transfer news is catching the eye of many football fans.
Everton do have options up front. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is trying to regain the form that saw him challenging Harry Kane for the starting striker role with England.
The added competition of Weghorst may fire Calvert-Lewin up and work in the favour of Dyche come the start of the next season.
Keep an eye on Weghorst transfer news this summer to see where the big man ends up.
