Life Journey

There is a lot to learn about Wout Weghorst’s Childhood Story, Early Life, Parents – Astrid Weghorst (Mum), Frans Weghorst (Dad), Brothers (Niek, Twan, and Ralf), and Family Life in this biography.

It doesn’t just end there, we’re going to tell you interesting facts about Dutch striker Nikki Van Esch’s Wife (Nikki Van Esch), Daughters, Lifestyle, Personal Life and Net Worth, etc.

In a nutshell, this biography is about Wout Weghorst’s Full Life History from birth to death. Wout is often referred to as the Jamie Va Rely of the Netherlands because he has come to prominence from the depths of football obscurity.

I am going to tell you the story of a footballer with a rich family heritage. This is a family that has built its wealth through oil and gas. Among Wout Weghorst’s family members, only he seemed to see the possibility of a future in football.

Many people believed he wouldn’t be able to make it far in football, even his family members. The reason for this is because, in the beginning, Wout wasn’t that good at the sport. It was only through his parents’ connection (through his mother) that he was able to get to higher places in life. The Bailer has never let anyone down since then.

In order to whet your appetite for the captivating nature of Wout Weghorst’s autobiography, we are presenting you with an overview of the Dutch star’s Early Life and Rise here. The Life Journey of the Dutch Football Giant is explained in this introduction.

I am sure that all football strikers like to score goals, and the Dutch striker with a height of 6 feet 6 inches is no exception. In the Netherlands forward’s eyes, every goal he scores is a defiant YES in the face of a thousand NOES he received along his journey through life.

Although he has been lauded for his bravery in front of the goal, we nevertheless notice a gap. The fact is that not a lot of football fans have read an in-depth version of the biography of Wout Weghorst. For this reason, we have prepared this memoir. Now, without further ado, let’s get started with the journey.

In terms of his biography, he is known as Die Wolfe (German for Wolf) because of the nickname he bears. The 7th of August 1992 was a special day in the life of Mr. Weghorst, as he was born in Borne, Netherlands, to his mother, Astrid Weghorst, and his father, Frans Weghorst.

It seemed, among all the children that Astrid had, that getting pregnant with Wout was different. As a result of the way he kicks, his mother could never help but feel like she was carrying a footballer around in her stomach.

Wout’s parents and two siblings observed another behavior upon the birth of their son. The observation occurred when he began to walk when he was only three months old.

Wout was fond of rolling up his full diapers and tossing them from the top of the stairs as soon as he was able. Did anyone know that, as he did that, this young man was simply warming up for the future that lay ahead of him?

Wout Weghorst was not the first, but the third child of his family when he came into the world. This is a family consisting of four soldiers (all of them boys). Our research indicates that Wout Weghorst does not have any sisters. The names of his brothers are Niek Weghorst, Twan Weghorst, and Ralf Weghorst.

The children were all born into the family as a result of their blissful marriage between their parents, Astrid and Frans Weghorst. Here are the names of the people who brought Twan, Ralf, Wout, and Neik into the world. Their children have been given four-letter names like these.

It cannot be denied that the Dutch professional footballer comes from an affluent family, one whose members have a stable financial future. The Weghorst family is involved in the oil and gas industry as well. The Weghorst family is one of the wealthiest families in Borne, the Netherlands.

In the oil and gas industry, Avia is the name of the company. The company that is a wholesaler and retailer of fuel and gas has been around for generations. The Wout Weghorst family owned approximately 130 petrol stations in the Netherlands alone at the end of 2021.

The subject matter of his household was always about him. I would like to point out that one of the best things about the Wout Weghorst Family is that they are very close-knit. The lives of his parents Astrid Weghorst and Frans Weghorst (his parents) were planned from an early age.

Wout was very different from the rest of his brothers. His life’s ambition made him different from the rest of his brothers. As a result of that, he became an even bigger topic of interest to his mother (Astrid).

Firstly, let me tell you a little more about the Footballer’s Dutch roots and his education before we get deeper into what made him unique.

Dutch nationality is the nationality of the Striker. Borne, a town with a population of approximately 23,000, is located in the Eastern region of the Netherlands. This municipality, which is located in the Dutch province of Overijssel, is the origin of Wout Weghorst’s family.

In the Dutch province of Twente, Borne is a municipality close to the border with Germany. The people who live in this town have a nickname, Melbuul. Wout’s origin, Borne, was essentially an agricultural town, characterized mostly by heavy clay soil and extensive cattle farming, up until the dawn of the industrial age.

Historically, Wout Weghorst’s family is aligned with the Dutch Low Saxon dialect from an ethnic perspective. This is a group of people who speak the Dutch language and are descended from a group of people who live in West Germany. In spite of the fact that the language is still spoken, the number of people who speak it is decreasing.

Lower Saxony used to be largely inhabited by Germanic tribes in olden days. It was under the leadership of Duke Widukind, that they engaged in a series of legendary battles against Charlemagne, during the late eighth century.

It is from his family home that the Dutch Superstar began his schooling. In the early years, Weghorst’s parents were his first teachers, and they played a key role in shaping his character.

It is a known fact that the Dutch consider school to be a Plan B rather than a Plan A. It is no secret that plan A was to become a professional footballer.

After reaching an agreement with his parents, Wout made sure he never disappointed them by not attending school. During his time in Holland, Wout studied up to the level of a university student.

According to our research, Wout has two university degrees in his name. The first of these degrees is one he earned in the field of Business Administration. He came up with the idea for this course due to the need to use his Business Administration knowledge in the family’s oil and gas business.

His second bachelor’s degree focuses more on his football career than his first bachelor’s degree. Wout earned a degree in top sports management and entrepreneurship at the university level as well.

It is true that before he agreed to educate himself up to a university level, he had an argument with his father and mother. Upon learning what Wout had chosen to do with his life, Astrid and Frans were astonished at what he had chosen to do. In spite of his parent’s wishes, he told them that he wanted to be a professional footballer.

It’s a fact that none of Wout Weghorst’s family members has ever played professional football. Furthermore, his parents wanted their sons to take up other professions instead. Particularly when it comes to a business that is related to the family’s business or one that is deemed prestigious.

In trying to uncover what their sons (Twan, Ralf, Wout, and Niek) wanted to do in life, their third son’s response became an issue for Astrid and Frans.

The parents of Wout Weghorst became worried that he (their third child) was going after an impossible dream. His parents were not comfortable with the idea that he wanted to be a professional football player. Therefore, they advised him to think about it again.

It was the parents of Weghorst that encouraged him to try to find an alternative. He wanted to pursue a more sensible career rather than football. Wout’s mother, Astrid Weghorst, and father, Frans Weghorst, thought that he should follow in the footsteps of his older brothers and follow the career path they had chosen to pursue.

It is pertinent to note that the first son of the family (Twan) had already made up his mind that he would like to become a pilot in the future. As for Ralph, he chose to become an architect. The baby of the house (Niel) agreed to take a course that is relevant to the family business.

Ultimately, Wout was able to find his way. It seemed that he was adamant about becoming a footballer – which he swore he would be. Additionally, the highly intelligent boy assured his parents that he would go to school. It is for this reason that he earned two degrees.

The aspiring Bailer, as mentioned earlier, did not agree with his parents in terms of his career choice. Despite the odds, Wouter remained firm in his belief that he would follow the path to becoming a professional footballer.

Even the intervention of well-meaning people (who are close to his family) could not make a difference. He says, “Now you have to make up your mind”.

I was told by countless well-meaning people, ‘Forget football – you’re not good enough to play it’. They were very persuasive in their approach.

During a recent interview with the Wolfsburger Allgemeine Zeitung, Wout Weghorst had these words to say. After he rejected their advice, there came a perception about him that was not true. In the past, many people have referred to Wout’s dedication to football as being delusional.

It is just because he wasn’t even good at the sport in the first place. However, he has an outstanding mentality that has kept him going. It was also noted that he had a never-give-up approach to his quest to become a better footballer.

At the beginning of his career, Weghorst played at an amateur level with his local team, the NEO. Certainly, he didn’t seem like he would be able to make it all the way to the end. Simply put, Wout was one of the worst footballers among all of his teammates. In spite of that, the youngster always believed that he had what it took to succeed in the game.

The belief is, that Wout Weghorst’s self-belief to make it in football came at a time when nobody shared his confidence in making it. At some point, his parents (particularly his mother, Astrid Weghorst) began to support and find ways to help him in his quest to play football.

When he played amateur football at NEO and then DETO (2010 to 2021), Wout (again) did not look like the ideal Superstar when he was an amateur player. As a matter of fact, his early playing days were pretty similar to Denzel Dumfries’. While both had a passion for the game, neither was very good at it.

During this time, Wout played for the DETO Twenterand academy, whose senior team plays in the fourth division of the Dutch Football League. In a similar way to Jamie Vardy, all he needed was a way up to achieve success. Thanks to a link from one of Wout Weghorst’s parents (his mother), I was able to find it.

Although the football-obsessed kid didn’t have the skills required to pass football trials, he still wanted to be a part of a bigger club.
With a bit of luck, Wout Weghorst ended up in Willem II Tilburg, which is a Dutch football club in Tilburg. But it wouldn’t have happened if not for family connections. Without his beloved mother (Astrid), it would not have been possible.

I am grateful that Wout Weghorst’s mother (Astrid) was friends with the wife of Jan van Esch, the then director of Willem II. Each time she meets her friends, they will discuss their respective children.

Wout Weghorst’s mother Astrid Weghorst (Wout’s mother) was always speaking well of her son’s football ambitions while they talked. Her friend was so excited about the boy’s mentality after she heard that. It was as a way of contributing her quota to the boy that she told her husband about the son of a friend of hers named Wout.

Jan van Esch (Astrid’s friend’s husband) was so inspired that he decided to send scouts to watch their son. We were not disappointed with the scouting report on Wout Weghorst. We are pleased with the outcome. It was through this process that Wout was able to make his way to the Eredivisie team, Willem II.

The move to a new team brought with it a host of new challenges for the Dutch star. He was not only expected to improve his gameplay but also to become a better leader. However, Wout began to experience a growth spurt. The increase in his height that took place during his teenage years resulted in a worsening of his technical skills.

It was difficult for me to sort my feet out,” he said.

It was once said in an interview that the then thin, lanky striker said.

Although Wout graduated from the Willem II academy, the club’s management did not deem him worthy of competing in the club’s first team.

Despite being given the opportunity to make his way into the first team, Wout never managed to do so. As a result, the club was disappointed.

As a result, they sell him to the available suitors. Wout was sold to FC Emmen, a lower-division club in the Netherlands. At the time, this club played in the lower division of the Netherlands football league.

During his first season, he scored 12 goals which earned him a move to Heracles Almelo, where Peter Bosz was the coach. The experience of playing with top-level professionals was not only strange for Wout but also an unwelcome eye-opener. He observed everything moving at a pace that was way too fast for him to keep up with.

Despite all this, Weghorst didn’t give up. Despite the fact that he was blessed with significantly less natural talent than the rest of the footballers in his neighborhood. The only thing he ever did was find a way to improve on his game day in and day out. During that time, Wout went through a self-analysis in-depth and also had extra training hours.

When he needed time to prove his worth, he faced lots of doubters who questioned the way he played. In spite of his age, Wout played amateur football at 20 and a lot of his teammates also played the game – more for the fun of it. In this case, they were footballers (mostly his teammates) who went to parties mostly on Friday evenings.

As his goal, he wanted to push himself hard and strive to become a professional. Although it was not easy for him, he was someone who was always willing to work on improving himself.

In his own words;

As a kid, I never believed I couldn’t make it. My parents always told me I should also see what I want to do later if it doesn’t work out. But I said: “No, I can do it and become a better professional!”.

Thanks to the dedication, more goals were achieved as a result. In 2015, Wout was lucky enough to be signed by AZ Alkmaar in the Eredivisie. Nevertheless, some fans are still doubting him even at this point in time. They accused him of being too ungainly for the tastes of Dutch football fans. Some AZ fans claimed he had a lot of brute force, and that wasn’t what they wanted in a striker.

The fans in this section have said that they prefer their strikers to be fast and tricky. In other words, to be an elegant footballer in the mold of Dennis Berakam 2. A few years later, these fans finally got their wish – a fast player in the person of Myron Boadu.

The truth of the matter is that Weghorst’s old-fashioned striking routine, on the other hand, failed to capture the hearts of his own fans. Adding insult to injury, it was Wout’s angry demeanor on the pitch that got a lot of people upset. Adding insult to injury, he was the type of player who caused a great deal of trouble on the pitch. Occasionally, the Dutch striker would argue a lot with the referees, the opponents, and even the coaches.

This is to say that the Dutch footballer has started the 2017-2018 season with excellent form. In 29 appearances across all competitions, Wout has scored 20 goals.

A feat such as this earned him his first international call-up. A feat such as this earned him his first call-up to Ronald Koeman’s Dutch squad of March 2018. For the sake of silence his critics, Wout Weghorst ended the season as the joint-third top scorer in the Eredivisie.

As a result, he had 18 goals, tying with Steven Berghuis. The pair finished behind the top scorers – Alireza Jahanbakhsh (with 21 points) and the runner-up Bjorn Johnsen (with 19 points). Az fans, who heavily criticized him before he scored these goals, started to love him after he scored these goals for them.

In less than two weeks following the conclusion of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, VfL Wolfsburg announced the signing of Wout Weghorst on a four-year contract.

After being loaned out to Alkmaar (AZ) by Wolfsburg’s sporting director Olaf Rebbe, Wout was on the radar of the club’s sporting director. A video of his emotional farewell to the AZ fans has been posted on YouTube.

For the first time, he will be leaving behind his parents and brothers when he joins VfL Wolfsburg. The 16th of March was the date on which Wout scored his first hat-trick for the German club.

As a result of his actions, he became the first player for the club since Mario Gomez in April 2017 to achieve that feat.

Wout finished his first Wolfsburg season with 17 goals as a result of his commitment at top form. I noticed that he paired with five names for the same number of goals.

I would like to mention the names of Andrej Kramaric, Kai Havertz, Luke Jovic, and Marco Reus.

The only players who scored more goals than Wout Weghorst were Paco A taco- (BVB) and Robert Letoarcowski (Bayern Munich). Following that season, The Dutch striker in a ‘target man’ type role continued to produce more impressive goal returns the following seasons.

Weghorst has proven something to the world in no uncertain terms. In order to be and feel confident, believing in yourself is a big part of the equation.

Ryan Gravenberch Biography, Age, Parents, FIFA 22, Career, Net Worth & Wiki

There is a similar story to Jamie Vardy’s rise to top-flight football in the rise of the Dutch footballer. This is why the Athletic refers to him as Holland’s taller, the chunkier answer to the Leicester. It was thanks to his mother and others who stood by him that Wout finally achieved his dream of playing football.

Although he may not be the player that has the greatest footballing skills from the start. It is because of their great minds of his that he has been able to win the battle against the many odds stacked against him. The rest of his biography is a piece of history.

In this section of his bio, you will find information regarding his love life. This page contains all the information you need to know about Wout Weghorst’s girlfriend. You can also learn what his relationship status is at the moment.

Wout fell in love in the year 2011, while he was still playing academy football. It was in August 2011, specifically, that he began dating someone named Nikki Van Esch. Now, let’s take a look at what made the Striker’s childhood sweetheart the sweetheart he is today.

In my opinion, she is the one who put the most smile on his face. This is especially true when he is going through difficult times in his career. It all started in August 2011 when Wout and Nikki began their relationship. They have been together for more than a decade now.

Nikki Van Esch is highly educated, a woman with a beautiful personality as well as a brain. The research indicates that she attended Nantong Textile & Vocational Technology College. It is a technical school that is located in Nantong, China.

In more recent times, Nikki Van Esch has enrolled at the Saxion University of Applied Sciences. Upon graduating from university, she obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Textile Engineering and Management.

Nikki van Esch has a lot of experience in the fashion and textile industry. Throughout the Netherlands and Germany, the WAG is known for being a long-term partner of Wout Weghorst.

Similar to her husband (Wout), Nikki Van Esch is also a Dutch national. As a result of her birth in the Netherlands, she has the zodiac sign of Aquarius as her star sign. There is only one sibling in her family, a sister named Dide van Esch, and she is very close to her family.

It is in Nikki Van Esch’s Instagram bio that she describes herself as the mother of Juul and Lucie. Juul and Lucie are the children of Wout Weghorst. On the 17th day of August 2018, Juul (his first child) was born to him.

It was decided that Wout and Nikki would wait for another two years before adding another member to their family. On the 17th day of April 2020, they became the parents of another girl, Lucie Mary Jo, who was born on the same day. Take a look at the lovers (Wout and Nikki) and their daughters.

When Nikki van Esch finally became the wife of Wout Weghorst;

As a result of being together for 10 years, I had to ask you: How did you fare with me during that time?

In his narrating of the proposal he made to his best friend of 10 years, Wout Weghorst told his fans those words as he recounted the proposal he made to them. It was precisely on the 28th day of August 2021 that he asked Nikki Van Esch for her hand in marriage. And what a way to celebrate the decade of their love story!

Aside from his love for football, the first thing you will notice about the Holland bomber is that he is a Super-Father. Wout is a good father who has left his mark on his daughters – for the rest of their lives.

There is always a separate room in the house of his family. Wout sleeps there alone most of the time on the three nights before a big game.

The Dutch strikers are the type of people who like to sleep uninterrupted during the night. Especially when it comes to Nikki’s daughters (Juul and Lucie), who want her attention at night. As a result, Wout is likely to perform better on the pitch if he sleeps well.

The Weghorst family is one of the wealthiest in the world. His parents (Astrid and Frans Weghorst) have enough money to provide a comfortable life for his wife and children for a lifetime.

A true enthusiast, the 6-foot-6 striker is a true professional. He is not a footballer who plays for money, but for the love of the game. It is more likely that he plays for the cocktail or for pride and honor.

With a fat bank account in sight, Wout personally rejected big monies from Cardiff despite having a fat bank account. Due to the fact that he did not want to chase money, he personally pulled the plug on the contract negotiation.

Wout has a very different attitude towards life than most people. At the time, his teammates at NEO often went to parties a few days before a game. At the moment, he does not go out to parties or clubs.

Even though he was blessed with far less talent than those around him, the Dutch Bailer maintained his position despite his lack of natural talent. Wout had the attitude to put in extra shifts despite his lack of talent. The fact is, he does not do an in-depth self-analysis – with the belief that he would improve his game if he did.

As an arrogant player about what he believes to be the wrong things, Wout is the type of player who often gets into arguments with referees and opponents on the pitch. He often speaks his mind quickly and without hesitation. There are also occasions when he gets into arguments with coaches.

A person who doesn’t act professionally towards him is going to be told straight to their faces if they don’t act professionally. While he was a member of Emmen’s U-21 team, Wout publicly complained about food injustices. It was discussed that pre-match meals consisted of burgers, mashed potato balls, and deep-fried chicken, which he did not like at all.

Having the tendency to get bigger, the Dutch footballer always keeps a close eye on his diet because he has a tendency to grow big. In addition, he also does extra training sessions and daily-study videos of himself.

There are many ways in which the Dutch footballer spends quality time with his family that explain his lifestyle. Let’s now talk about what Wout does to create this sense of belonging.

In the summer, Wout Weghorst’s family often visits Ibiza during their summer vacations. You can’t find an experience like this anywhere else on this planet, if you haven’t been there before. Here you can see Nikki, Wout, Juul, and Lucie having fun with mother nature.

In addition to the summer holidays, the winter holidays are also a special time for the wealthy Dutch family. One of the best vacation destinations during winter break is Austra. The family of Wout enjoys alpine sports during their time there.

The members of his household are all diligent and hardworking. It starts with his parents, and then goes on to his brothers and sisters. As a team, they have put a lot of effort into building an oil and gas empire. We would like to take this opportunity to tell you a bit more about the Wout’s family. Let’s begin by talking about Frans, his father.

The father of the footballer, Frans, runs a successful oil trade business in Borne, the Netherlands. The company owned by Wout Weghorst’s father, Frans, is currently called AVIA Weghorst. The oil trade business has grown tremendously during the past few years. The oil and gas company was founded by Frans Weghorst’s grandfather.

Frans Weghorst is an oil and gas mogul who is also interested in executive football management in addition to being an oil and gas mogul. It was once upon a time when he ran for the position of General Manager for FC Twente. It was at this time that the club’s board parted ways with former CEO Eric Velderman.

The reason why Frans Weghorst did not apply for the job was that he has football experience. In reality, he did that because he has a Twente heart. In his intention, he made it clear that he was not looking for money, as he was already rich and financially dependent on his parents.

Later on, it was reported that Wout Weghorst’s father had joined the Supervisory Board of FC Twente. Following the appointment of Frans Weghorst to the Supervisory Board of Twente, the Supervisory Board now comprises three members. The two other members are Dennis Schipper and Koen Groenewold.

As part of Frans’ role for FC Twente, he was tasked with developing a financial rescue plan. The plan came at a time when the club was desperately in need of finance. During the second world war, Frans provided help via De Noabers, an agency that he pioneered.

De Noabers is located in Grutbroek, 7008 AN Doetinchem, in the Netherlands. This is a regional investor group that came to the rescue of FC Twente during its financial crisis. The club, with the help of Wout Dad, has received an investment of 14 million euros from the organization.

Astrid works for the family business, AVIA, as an executive. She was strong support for her son in the early stages of his career as a footballer.

Without Astrid’s help, it would not have been possible for Wouter to enroll in Willem II. Wie Weghorst’s mother was friends with the wife of Jan van Esch, who was the director of Willem II when Weghorst’s mother was a child.

In those days, the youngster had the opportunity to get scouted because of his Mother’s relationship with Van Esch’s family.

In the opinion of the Dutch footballer, his siblings are his closest friends. Because of this, there is a strong bond between them.

He often says that he never really had any friends. In his opinion, that was one of the things that he always had trouble with. According to him, he never belonged anywhere and was always on his own. We are now going to talk about the brothers of the Dutch football giant.

Virgil van Dijk Biography, Age, Height, Parents, Wife, Salary, Career, Net Worth & Wiki

It is our understanding that Twan Weghorst is a pilot who drives the Boeing 737. In addition to being a pilot for Emirates, he has also been a pilot for KLM Royal Dutch, Emirate, and others. Twan has an exceptionally close bond with Astrid, his mum.

Twan Weghorst, who wants to become a pilot, tried his hand at football before becoming a pilot. In research, it turns out that the older brother of Wout played for RKSV NEO before hanging up his boots. I would like to conclude by saying that Twan Weghorst is married to Ueke Velner.

Astrid and Frans, the parents of Ralph, are the second sons of Astrid. In addition to this, he is also known for being Wolf Weghorst’s immediate older brother. It is fair to say that Ralf Weghorst is an architect in terms of his profession. It is also important to know that Ralf has a passion for cooking.

AVIA, the company owned by the family, quotes Niek Weghorst as one of their management executives. Wout’s younger brother is the Commercial Director of the oil and gas company where he works.

He is described here as inspecting a facility with his dad (Frans Weghorst). He is accompanied by Niels Seinen, another director. Did you notice that? He resembles his father more than his own son.

Niek Weghorst, the brother of Weghorst, is an expert in the oil and gas business. Niek Weghorst has devoted his whole life to his family’s business. His parents, Frans and Astrid, are the last born of a family of nine children.

After the birth of Juul (Wout’s first daughter), his grandmamma requested to see her soon after the birth. Being able to see her Grandchild brings a new life into her heart. More importantly, it makes Wout feel like he is a proud father.

On a typical footballing Saturday, there could be around ten Weghorst scions heading to Germany in the direction of their homeland. It would be for the purpose of watching Wout’s Wolfsburg games.

For this journey, Wout Weghorst’s relatives – his nephews and uncles – are expected to accompany him as well. In addition to the Bailer family, the Bailer brothers and parents are also present on the trip.

The mother-in-law of Wout Weghorst often pays the most visits to his immediate family out of all of his relatives. Nikki Van Esch, who is Wout’s wife and also her daughter, has a special bond with her mother. Both Nikki and her mother enjoy picking berries together.

As we conclude the biography of the Dutch Giant 6 feet 6 inches tall, in this section we will tell even more truths about him. I will begin by revealing some of the important facts about him.

It all started in 1931 when coal and peat production boomed in the Netherlands. In the post-second world war era, AVIA’s focus shifted from coal and peat to liquid heating fuels.

I am writing this Bio at the moment when the family business is now focusing on liquid motor fuels. It now supplies fuel to more than 130 of its filling stations in the north, east and central parts of the Netherlands.

One interesting fact about AVIA is that the 4th generation of Weghorst’s family works there. The fifth generation of Frans and Astrid has already been born, comprising the grandchildren of the couple. So far, we only know about Juul and Lucie, the daughters of Wout and Nikki Van Esch.

Have you ever wondered who Wout Weghorst’s idol is? Well, his name is Lad Litmanen. The former striker from Finland played for Ajax and FC Barcelona under Louis van Gaal. The former player also played for Liverpool alongside Michael Owen and Steven Gerrard. When he was a child, Wout met his idol.

His left arm contains creative designs and tattoo combinations that contain meaningful words. This is according to Wout.

I feel it reminds me of the steps I have taken in my life and in my professional career. They are the pieces of the story of my life.

The statement above is referring to Wout Weghorst’s tattoos on his biceps. It is the muscle on the front part of the left arm which is the biceps.

There is a special meaning behind each of Wout’s tattoos. The tattoos are not only about football but also about his life. He has one (attached with a brief prayer) for his parents (Ralf and Astrid), as well as two for himself. As a final note, Wout has tattoos for his daughters (Jul and Lucie) and wife (Nikki Van Esch).

It is said that some people refer to Wout as the Dutch Olivier Giroud, but with a faster pace. I think he has similar characteristics to Nigeria striker Paul Onuachu and Ivory Coast striker Sebastien Haller.

It is evident from his FIFA stats that Wout Weghorst excels most when it comes to his power and strength. He is also a great attacker and possesses excellent mental attributes as well.

A couple of decades back, AZ fans had a negative perception of Wout. It was only when they noticed an untold version of Wout Weghorst’s personality that public perception changed.

Several media sources have reported that the Dutch footballer was regularly visiting a pensioner in a care home during his spare time, according to reports. Then why did he visit the old person?

Weghorst was watching a program about loneliness among the elderly when he was a youngster. The program touched him deeply. As a result, he decided to dedicate some time in his week to visiting an elderly man who lived alone. This is something that he did over the course of many months.

Fans of Arizona got to find out after a TV show revealed that his old friend had passed away. When Wout learned of the old man’s illness and eventual death, he became very concerned and upset.

Having mourned the death of the man, Wout made a resolution. Having said that, he promised that he would never spend time with that person again. This was because he was afraid of being too emotionally involved with that person.

It was the dream of the huge 1.97m (6 feet 6 inches) striker to be a part of the England national team. However, nothing could be more important than his desire to play for Liverpool. Earlier, it was mentioned that Jeri Litmanen (his idol) played for the Reds. This may have been the reason why Wout followed Liverpool as a child. The fact that he dreams of playing for them may also have something to do with it.

To date, the Dutch professional footballer has not identified himself as a part of an ideological group. His parents and brothers are also in the same boat, as can be observed in their social media profiles. It is estimated that 54% of Dutch citizens do not belong to a specific religion.
