Newcastle complete club-record £69m deal for Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade
Newcastle United sign Nick Woltemade in record deal
- Newcastle United has completed a club-record signing of 23-year-old Germany international Nick Woltemade from Bundesliga side Stuttgart for £69m.
- Woltemade, who was top goalscorer at the Under-21 European Championship and previously played for Werder Bremen, has signed a long-term deal at St James' Park.
- This transfer marks Newcastle's fifth summer addition and is considered a key move that could facilitate Alexander Isak's potential departure to Liverpool.
- Newcastle manager Eddie Howe praised Woltemade's technical ability and potential, while Woltemade expressed his excitement about joining the club and playing at St James' Park.
- Liverpool has already had a £110m bid for Alexander Isak rejected, but Woltemade's arrival provides Newcastle with cover should the Sweden striker force a move.
