Stoke City manager Mark Robins has hailed Wouter Burger’s attitude as “brilliant” following interest from FC Midtjylland in January.
Stoke City have successfully retained midfielder Wouter Burger beyond the January transfer window, ensuring he remains with the club until at least the end of the season. The 24-year-old, who joined the Potters in 2023, is under contract at the Bet365 Stadium until 2027.
Manager Mark Robins has praised Burger’s attitude, describing it as “brilliant” in a report by *StokeOnTrentLive*. Robins highlighted Burger’s potential, stating, “There’s miles more to come from him. He’s a really good player, and if he can improve his speed on and off the ball, we’ll see an even better version of him as the team’s level rises.” Robins also commended Burger’s professionalism, noting, “Some players might sulk if things don’t go their way, but he hasn’t done any of that. He’s acted exactly as you’d hope.”
Stoke City’s Midfield Boost
Burger has been a key addition to Stoke’s midfield since his arrival, making 75 appearances across all competitions, including 34 this season, and scoring five goals. His retention during the January window was a significant boost for the club.
Before joining Stoke, Burger spent three years at FC Basel, where he played 76 games and scored five times. He also came through Feyenoord’s academy, making 16 appearances for the Dutch giants, and gained experience during loan spells at Excelsior and Sparta Rotterdam.
What’s Next for Stoke?
Stoke City recently secured a crucial 3-1 victory over Swansea City, lifting their survival hopes. The Potters, currently 19th in the Championship, are six points clear of the relegation zone. They will look to build on this momentum as they face Norwich City at Carrow Road this weekend. With Burger’s commitment and Robins’ leadership, Stoke will aim to climb further up the table in the coming weeks.
