Nick Woltemade News: Signs with Newcastle United

Woltemade has signed a long-term deal with Newcastle United, joining on a permanent move and club-record transfer from VfB Stuttgart, his new club announced. "We're delighted to get Nick's signing over the line so quickly. He fits the profile for exactly what we have been looking to add to our attacking options. He's strong in a lot of areas - he has great technical ability and has proven himself to be a real threat in one of Europe's top leagues - but he's also still at an age where he has plenty of room to develop and grow here. Nick is a great character too and we're really pleased to welcome him to the group," said head coach Eddie Howe.

Woltemade is the Magpies' fifth first-team signing of the summer after agreeing to a long-term deal at St. James' Park. He came through Werder Bremen's youth system and debuted in the Bundesliga as their youngest ever player in 2020. After moving to Stuttgart last summer, he scored 17 goals in 33 appearances across all competitions and won the Golden Boot at the Under-21 European Championship. The striker already has two senior caps with Germany and is expected to quickly become a regular starter in the frontline under coach Eddie Howe.
