Weghorst has won 39 caps for the Netherlands, scoring 12 goals, notably a winner in the 83rd minute of their opening Euro 2024 match against Poland. Oranje coach Ronald Koeman has used Weghorst as a "super sub", the striker famously hitting a dramatic 101st-minute equaliser in stoppage time against Argentina in the World Cup quarter-final.
Ajax technical director Alex Kroes said the 32-year-old Weghorst would provide an "absolute top sporting experience." "He is a high-scoring striker who is always making things difficult for every opponent," added Kroes, whose Ajax team is hoping to bounce back from a horror season last year. Weghorst, who said he supported Ajax as a young boy as his grandfather was a huge fan, said he had come to Amsterdam determined to fight for a first-team place.
