Wout Weghorst's loan deal is unlikely to be extended as the Dutchman fails to impress as expected
Wout Weghorst made a harsh assessment of himself after drawing another empty tie against small European side Gibraltar in the Euro qualifiers.

The Nigerian hitman was quick to talk about the opportunity to move to England. Currently having the best season in his career, Napoli will find it difficult to keep the top scorer next season.

3. Rasmus Hojlund
Another Serie A product, Højlund has emerged on the international scene, scoring five goals in two games for Denmark. An avid Manchester United fan, Højlund has been described as a 2.0 version of the Erling Haaland machine.
4.Ivan Tony
Toney has slowly taken an interest in his business since Brentford was promoted two seasons ago. It is thought the pace in the Premier League will catch up with him, but the 27-year-old has grown stronger under Thomas Frank.

He also took full advantage of Darwin Nunez's move to Liverpool to impose his dominance in an impressive Benfica team. He's the youngest of all the options here, but he's a striker that Ten Hag can make to fit his needs.
