Burnley sign Wout Weghorst from Wolfsburg on Transfer Deadline Day | Transfer Centre News
Burnley have signed striker Wout Weghorst from Wolfsburg on Deadline Day for a fee understood to be around £12m.
Weghorst, who has scored six goals in 18 Bundesliga appearances this season, has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal after completing a medical on Sunday.
The Netherlands international comes in as a replacement for Chris Wood, who joined relegation rivals Newcastle earlier in the window.
Burnley did not expect to lose Wood this month, but Newcastle surprised them by activating his £25m release clause.
Weghorst has taken the No 9 shirt vacated by Wood and will train with his new team-mates on Monday. He is likely to feature in Saturday’s crucial home game against Watford.
