Wouter Burger becomes another smart signing by Stoke City this window joining from FC Basel for €5m – xGOLD identified Burger as a standout talent in Switzerland back in August 2022 and our video scouting confirmed that he was capable of making a move to a good Tier 2 side.

Who is Wouter Burger?

“Wouter Burger, at 22 years of age, is a player who can adapt to various roles in midfield.

He is very intelligent to shine in different game ideas and works with a lot of intensity in every phase.

He is a player who could improve his technique to be more decisive when attacking and in tight spaces.

However, his decision making is very good – he doesn’t tend to take too many risks and gives a lot of routine passes, but this way he ensures to keep possession and avoids losses in very dangerous areas.

Due to his current level, Wouter Burger could play in a Tier 2 league in the short term.”
