Weghorst: I'm perfect for Burnley

Wout Weghorst insists he has found the "perfect fit" at Burnley.

The Dutch striker was signed a three and a half year contract at Turf Moor after completing his move from Wolfsburg.

"I had some really good talks and after the conversations I had with the owner and the people here, I felt a lot of appreciation and a warm feeling," he said.

"I looked into it, the side and the history, to see if it fit me, and I got a feeling it was something that would perfectly fit me.

"I as a player and Burnley as a club are quite similar.

"I did my research and I saw my history over the last few years. Not so along ago they played in Europe here. I am looking forward to being part of the club.

"I think for me as a football player and as a human being, I can compare myself to Burnley as a club. The way of thinking, the mindset and the ambitions they have.

"The place in the table is not good and can be better but we have some matches left, the main challenge now is to stay up and I am looking forward to helping that process and to be part of the history of Burnley."
