"Woltemade was very highly rated before he joined Newcastle and it looked like he'd be a good signing after he made a strong start to life in English football. The 23-year-old has nine goals in 37 games in all competitions so far this season, but his recent drought is undoubtedly a worry. Still, given that he's young and still adapting to a new team and league, perhaps Newcastle could do well to give him a bit more time."
"Speaking on the View From The Lane Podcast earlier this season, journalist Danny Kelly said: Bayern Munich are beside themselves with fury that Nick Woltemade went to Newcastle. They thought he would be automatically straight into the Bayern squad, but part of the reason he didn't go, of course, was because he knew he wouldn't get game time up front [ahead of Harry Kane]."
"Newcastle ended up selling Alexander Isak to Liverpool last summer, and it's perhaps not too surprising that they've found it difficult to replace him. As well as Woltemade, NUFC also signed Yoane Wissa, and he's also been a little slow to get going for the Magpies due to arriving injured. Should Newcastle sell Nick Woltemade already?

Newcastle United are prioritising a new striker for the summer transfer window and are considering selling Nick Woltemade after a 14-game goal drought. Woltemade has nine goals in 37 appearances this season but has failed to score in his last 14 matches for Eddie Howe's side. The club sold Alexander Isak last summer and also signed Yoane Wissa, who has been slow to start due to injury. Woltemade arrived highly rated and made a strong early impression, but his adaptation to a new league and team remains a factor. Bayern Munich were among his suitors before his move to Newcastle.
