It cannot be ruled out that Erik ten Hag will be the first to shop at ‘his’ Ajax next summer, in his new role as technical director at FC Twente. Tijmen van Wissing states that ‘the chance has now become a lot greater because of Ten Hag that Wout Weghorst will still move to Enschede’.
‘There is a greater chance that Weghorst will come with the arrival of Ten Hag’
“That would of course be a stunt,” says the club watcher RTV East bee ESPN. “A very exciting transfer, which may be imminent this summer in Twente. Van Wolfswinkel will stop at some point, that is the expectation. I think there is a greater chance that Weghorst will come with the arrival of Ten Hag. At the moment he is persona non grata. He was whistled at at the last FC Twente – Ajax, but Weghorst will undoubtedly make it a great pandemonium.”
“Weghorst already wanted to go to FC Twente and then also spoke. He then chose Ajax and then the theater came about his Ajax pajamas. That caused a lot of bad blood at Twente, but they will quickly get over that when he comes.” Van Wissing thinks that Weghorst can be a good reinforcement for Twente. “You stumble over the good brothers at FC Twente. With the top sports climate of Weghorst, something happens. It is less informal with him there. I think that is still seriously discussed at Twente. He is already building a house in the Twente region. He wants to settle there one day. It is one of his great wishes.”
Jan Streuer gives the green light
Outgoing technical director Jan Streuer already said about it: “The supporters of FC Twente quickly get angry. I’ll just say something: Weghorst is not coming. That bastard will never be welcome here again, you hear such texts. But I am sure: if such a boy does come, the mood will be completely different. That is the Twente temperament. The supporters want the best for FC Twente, no one is allowed to be negative about the club. Except for themselves. Things sometimes go too far on social media. That’s swearing and cursing. That’s a shame. 95 percent of people don’t participate in that. But what that small group is saying does get through.”
Weghorst on Vak-P
Weghorst himself said in the past: “I went to FC Twente as a little boy, with my brothers. We were at Vak-P, the fanatical part of FC Twente. That is always something I have said: yes, I would really like to play football there again in my career…”
