Wout Weghorst Scout Report

At 31 years old, Wout Weghorst has positioned himself as a multi-faceted striker in the heart of TSG Hoffenheim's attack. Weghorst's playstyle leans towards a defensive forward, which is evidenced by his high percentile in one-vs-one defending (92%) and penalty area defending (68%). His ball recovery sits at a decent 58%, which testifies to his aggressive, high-pressing style. However, facing toward the opponent's goal, his ineffectiveness in ball retention (38%) and low chance creation (18%) stand out as visible drawbacks. His progressive passing (75.5%) indexes well, indicating that he plays a pivotal role in Hoffenheim's transition into attack. His low shot rate, though, suggests a player who isn't typically on the end of these attacks but rather a build-up play facilitator. This aspect may need addressing to bolster his direct goal threat. Weghorst's impressive duel win percentage (72.9%) and aerial duel win percentage (60.4%) show us that he is formidable in physical contests and effective in Hoffenheim's aerial play. Altogether, even in his 30s, Weghorst continues to be a strong defensive forward contributing considerably to the team's transition play, but must elevate his direct offensive contribution to truly maximize his potential.
