Newcastle United have confirmed the club-record signing of 23-year-old forward Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart, with Sky Sports reporting a £69m fee. Woltemade expressed enthusiasm about joining, praised the club atmosphere and said discussions with the head coach convinced him this is the right environment to develop and score goals. The transfer is seen as a significant purchase that could signal a potential sale of current striker Alexander Isak, whose move to Liverpool has been linked with a British-record fee as Deadline Day approaches. German journalist Christian Falk described Woltemade as unconventional, strong on the ball and dangerous from distance.
I'm really happy to be at this amazing club. From the first contact, I felt like the club really wanted me and had big plans for me. It's a big step in my life to leave Germany but everybody has welcomed me so well and it already feels like family. I have a really good feeling from speaking to the head coach that this is the right place for me to find my best level.
Sky Sports claim in their report below that the fee Newcastle have paid for the Germany international is 69m. Either way, it's clearly a significant purchase for the Magpies, who are perhaps making this signing with the view of selling star striker Alexander Isak. Isak to Liverpool transfer talk continues to grow as we approach Deadline Day, with the Telegraph suggesting a British record move is on.
