Wout Weghorst, a striker for Burnley, has once again gone out on loan, according to Vincent Kompany.

 

Wout Weghorst’s most recent loan departure

from Burnley was explained by Vincent

Kompany in detail.

The 31-year-old will spend the season in

Germany with Bundesliga outfit

Hoffenheim, having spent temporary spells

with Besiktas and Hoffenheim last season.

Kompany revealed he had an honest and

 

 

frank conversation with the Dutchman,

where it was accepted another move away

from Turf Moor was the best solution for all

parties involved.

“I had a good time with Wout in terms of

being able to get to know him and speak to

him. He’s a wonderful character,” he said.

 

We had an honest conversation with each

other and I think he’s at the stage of his

career where, rightly so, he will think or feel

he has to be in a squad which can be built

around him. That makes sense.

There were coaches and other clubs willing

to offer that, but in terms of where we’re at

we had different ideas and we weren’t able

to commit to that.

“At that moment in time it was a very good,

honest conversation and we said we

wouldn’t stand in the way of him having the

opportunity to play at his age.”

Sean Dyche previously brought Weghorst to

Burnley in January 2022 for a fee of around

£12m, but it’s fair to say the move hasn’t

worked out so far.

Since then, the forward has made just 20

outings for the Clarets, scoring twice.

Weghorst still has two years remaining on

his contract at Turf Moor.
