Nick Woltemade was present at Newcastle's training ground on Friday to complete the procedures, before the official launch with the rookie of “Choi Chu” on Saturday.
“I am really happy to wear a wonderful club like this.”Woltemade shared. “Right from the first contact, I felt the great determination and ambition of Newcastle for me. This is an important turning point in my career, when I left Germany to go to the Premier League, but everyone welcomed me very warmly, making me feel like in a real family. I believe this is an ideal environment for myself to reach the peak of the style. Can wait for more to be scored here ”.

Before landing at the Premier League, Woltemade once caught the sight of Bayern Munich, but Newcastle quickly surpassed the Bundesliga giant to win the signature.
This striker up to 1m98 is mature from the Werder Bremen training furnace, sticking for 10 years before he was tried to the first team in 2020. He played 51 matches for Bremen, scored 2 goals, then moved to Stuttgart season 2024/25. In the Swabia team shirt, Woltemade exploded with 17 goals after 33 matches, contributing greatly to help Stuttgart win the German National Cup championship. At the international level, he made a hat-trick against Slovenia in the European U21 group stage and had 2 caps of the German team.
The appearance of Woltemade can also activate the domino effect on the transfer market. Liverpool has long pursued Alexander Isak but it was difficult because Newcastle has not found a replacement. With Woltemade docking, the door for the Isak deal can be more open. However, Liverpool has not raised the price higher than the initial £ 110 million.
During the summer, Newcastle encountered many obstacles when looking for true striker. Isak even had to practice separately, and coach Eddie Howe was forced to push Anthony Gordon striker plugged in two opening matches against Aston Villa and Liverpool. Other goals such as Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, Benjamin Sesko and Hugo Ekitike both refused to choose another stop in the Premier League.
“We are happy to complete the Nick Woltemade deal so quickly.”Howe said. “He is exactly the type that we need: good techniques, ideal bodybuilding, proving himself in one of the top European tournaments, and still has a lot of potential for further development.”
Woltemade became Newcastle's fifth rookie this summer, after Anthony Elanga, Jacob Ramsey, Malick Thiaw and Aaron Ramsdale, promising to bring a fresh and powerful appearance to the attack of “Choi Chu”.
