Wout Weghorst is the archetypal target forward — 6ft 6in, relentless in the air, and willing to run channels and press for ninety minutes even when service is limited. He made his name at Wolfsburg and AZ, and his brief Manchester United loan in January 2023 produced one of the tournament's most memorable moments: two goals as a substitute against Argentina in the World Cup quarter-final, forcing extra time. That performance crystallised his value to the Netherlands — not as a starter in every game, but as a specific, disruptive weapon off the bench. Now back at Ajax, he remains in Ronald Koeman's plans.
