My Take
Wout Weghorst is my kind of footballer - a 197cm striker who built his career the hard way, climbing from the Dutch second tier through Heracles, AZ, Wolfsburg and on to Ajax. There's no silver-spoon pedigree here, just grit and a refusal to quit, crystallized in that dramatic late World Cup strike so many fans remember. Height makes him an obvious aerial threat, but it's the relentless will, not the frame, that defines him. I find honest, hard-running forwards far more compelling than effortless talents, and Weghorst is exactly that. His fighting spirit is genuinely stirring to watch.
