Ajax have announced the signing of Netherlands striker Wout Weghorst from Championship club Burnley.
Weghorst, 32, has agreed a deal with Ajax until June 2026 for an undisclosed fee.

Weghorst has made 39 appearances for the Dutch national team – having made his debut against England in 2018 – and scored 12 goals.
“Wout stands for an absolute top sports experience, and we find that extremely important at Ajax,” Ajax technical director Alex Kroes told the club’s website.
