Done Deal: Hoffenheim snap up Burnley striker Wout Weghorst

Hoffenheim have snapped up Burnley striker Wout Weghorst.

The Holland international joins Hoffenheim on a season-long loan.

Weghorst spent last term on-loan with Besiktas and Manchester United.

"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.

"The fact that a striker with his track record and all the options available to him has chosen Hoffenheim shows that the club are attractive even to big-named players."

Weghorst said he was "very impressed" by the "enormous effort" Hoffenheim made to sign him.

"I would now like to repay the trust they have placed in me on the pitch and contribute to the most successful season possible," added the centre-forward.
