"At Stuttgart, he wasn't even in the Champions League squad during the first half of last season, then he played a good second half of the season with seven goals. That's not a criticism of Nick. He's a young player who needs time to develop, as we can now see at Newcastle."

His form has deteriorated recently, with no Premier League goals since December 20. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe repositioned him to midfield with Anthony Gordon as false nine, but Woltemade touched the ball only 14 times in a 3-2 defeat to Everton.

Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann defends Woltemade, emphasizing his youth and need for development, noting his limited top-flight experience before joining Newcastle.
