Dutch striker Wout Weghorst, from English club Burnley, has been loaned to Istanbul’s Besiktas for a season, the two clubs announced on Tuesday.
The 1.97m player has played 14 games and scored 3 goals for the Dutch national team. At the age of 29, Weghorst arrived at Burnley at the end of January with a mission to help the team, then bottom of the English Premier Leagueto remain in the elite of national football.
However, Burnley ended up not escaping relegation to the second division.
We can confirm that Wout Weghorst has completed a season-long loan to Beşiktaş.
The 29-year-old has joined the Turkish Süper Lig side for the season after joining Burnley earlier this year from VfL Wolfsburg.

Passage through Germany and Turkish restructuring
Before joining England, the Dutchman spent three and a half seasons with German team Wolfsburg, scoring 59 goals in 118 games in Bundesliga.
Besiktas, coached by Frenchman Valérien Ismaël, finished sixth in last season’s Süper Lig, a disappointing result for the team that won the Copa-Liga double in the 20/21 season.
