Burnley transfer news: Wout Weghorst joins Hoffenheim on season-long loan

Burnley striker Wout Weghorst has joined German side Hoffenheim on a season-long loan.

The Netherlands international, 31, had loan spells at Besiktas and Manchester United last season.

He made 31 appearances for United after joining in January, scoring two goals and assisting three more.

Burnley signed Weghorst for £12m in January 2022 but he was unable to help keep them in the Premier League that season, scoring twice in 20 games.

"I don't think I'm exaggerating when I describe this transfer as significant and extraordinary. It certainly is for us," said Hoffenhim managing director Alexander Rosen.
