Nick Woltemade joined Newcastle United on a long-term deal for £73.5m, breaking the club transfer record previously held at £63m for Alexander Isak. The 23-year-old Germany international arrives from VfB Stuttgart after scoring 17 goals in 33 matches following a free transfer from Werder Bremen. Woltemade finished as top scorer at the Under-21 European Championship with six goals and has two senior caps. The signing could influence Alexander Isak’s future amid reported interest from Liverpool, and other targets linked to Newcastle during the window included Yoane Wissa and Jorgen Strand Larsen.
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.
I know the stadium from watching games on television; it looks amazing and I know the atmosphere is crazy. I'm really excited to play and start scoring goals here.
