Ten Hag signs Wout Weghorst as Marco Silva’s Benfica seek alternatives

Twente have signed 33-year-old striker Wout Weghorst on a two-year contract at the club where Erik ten Hag is technical director, closing off a potential route for Marco Silva’s Benfica and pushing them towards other attacking options.

The Dutch forward left Ajax at the end of his contract after two seasons, during which he scored 20 goals in 65 appearances.

He is currently with the Netherlands squad at the World Cup and is still awaiting his first minutes at the tournament.

Weghorst had been considered by Benfica, particularly under former coach José Mourinho, but is not viewed as a priority by the hierarchy at this stage of the market.

Twente have reached an agreement to sign experienced Netherlands international striker Wout Weghorst on a two-year contract following his departure from Ajax. The high-profile free agent represents a major coup for incoming technical director Erik ten Hag, who previously managed the physical frontman during a short loan spell at Manchester United.

The Enschede-based club have officially completed the marquee acquisition of the 33-year-old forward on a free transfer. Currently away on international duty with the Netherlands squad at the World Cup, the veteran attacker leaves Amsterdam after netting 20 goals over two seasons. Ten Hag used his administrative influence behind the scenes to finalise the agreement, effectively convincing his former Old Trafford frontman to commit his long-term future to the club.
