Newcastle close to £65m deal for Nick Woltemade – could it pave way for Alexander Isak exit?
Newcastle close to securing potential Alexander Isak replacement
- Newcastle United are reportedly nearing a club-record £65 million deal to sign Germany U21 forward Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart.
- The potential arrival of Woltemade could pave the way for Alexander Isak's departure, with Liverpool keen to sign the striker.
- Newcastle rejected Liverpool's opening £110 million offer for Isak and are reportedly seeking a British record £150 million.
- The club is facing a striker shortage, with Callum Wilson having joined West Ham and Anthony Gordon facing a potential three-match suspension.
- Woltemade, who scored 17 goals last season and was the top scorer at the European Under-21 Championship, is expected to undergo a medical on Friday.
