You probably haven't heard of Wout Weghorst. But what the Dutch striker lacks in fame he more than makes up for in confidence and ambition.

Weghorst this summer moved from AZ Alkmaar in his homeland to Bundesliga side Wolfsburg.

However, the 26-year-old is already setting his sights on his ultimate destination – Liverpool.

“I've dreamt of it since childhood,” he told De Telegraaf. “If I continue to train with full commitment, I think that opportunity will come.

“Of course, something like that depends on several factors. You have to stay fit and a coach and club must see it in you, but apart from that you can create many things in life for yourself.”

Weghorst began his career in the Dutch lower leagues with FC Emmen before 25 goals in 73 games with Heracles and 45 goals in 86 games with AZ.

That was enough to earn a move to Wolfsburg, where he will hope his 6ft 6ins frame can help bring his impressive goalscoring form from the Eredivisie.

And Weghorst is also refreshingly aware of his own limitations.

“I've always been surprised by the fact that people apparently don't get everything out of it,” he said. “Sometimes I think it really is a pity that I don't have that exceptional talent. If I had, I would probably have been able to reach the absolute top.

“I'm now going for my own personal limit, but because I don't have that exceptional talent, I don't know how high it will be.

“If all the people who criticise me knew my whole path and how I hurt myself again every day to become the best version of myself, they would probably better understand that a lot comes loose when I score.

“Just look at Cristiano Ronaldo. How do you think he often feels? He plays for the biggest clubs in the world, but still gets a lot of criticism. I would love to talk to him about that kind of thing. I'm already aware that I will experience that at Wolfsburg.”
