Weghorst’s arrival pushes Lammers out, Twente targets PSV’s Uneken

Wout Weghorst arrived at FC Twente on a free transfer from Ajax, signing a two‑season contract at De Grolsch Veste, while 29‑year‑old striker Sam Lammers is now looking to leave the club. The Dutch forward’s move was confirmed on Saturday morning, prompting Lammers to consider his options. FC Twente secured Weghorst’s services without a transfer fee, and the veteran will be available for the upcoming season under his new deal. The club’s announcement came on Saturday, confirming the two‑year agreement. Sam Lammers, who signed a contract with Twente that runs until mid‑2027, has publicly stated his desire to depart following the Dutch striker’s arrival. His contract length means he remains tied to the club for several more years unless a transfer materialises.

Weghorst leaves Ajax for Twente after two years in Amsterdam

Lammers joined Twente two years ago for a few million euros from Rangers and featured in 25 Eredivisie matches last season, contributing six goals and eight assists. Those statistics underline his impact despite the recent squad changes. Twente are already scouting a young, second striker to complement Weghorst, with PSV prospect Jesper Uneken identified as a potential target. The club hopes to secure the forward if Lammers can be sold for the desired amount. Jeroen Kapteijns of De reported: "If FC Twente manages to sell Lammers for the desired amount, a young, second striker will arrive. For that Jesper Uneken (PSV) is in view." The quote reflects Twente’s strategy to replace Lammers. Lammers’ career includes spells at PSV’s youth academy, SC Heerenveen (loan), Atalanta Bergamo, Eintracht Frankfurt (loan), Empoli (loan), Sampdoria (loan), Rangers and FC Utrecht (loan), illustrating his extensive experience across Europe.
