Newcastle United Break Own Transfer Spending Limit to Acquire Stuttgart's Footballer Nick Woltemade
Newcastle United Sign German Striker Nick Woltemade for Record-Breaking Fee
Newcastle United have made a statement signing in the Premier League, securing the services of 23-year-old German striker Nick Woltemade from VfB Stuttgart for a transfer fee of up to £69 million. This fee surpasses the £63 million the club paid for Alexander Isak in 2022, making Woltemade the most expensive player in Newcastle United's history.
Woltemade, who stands at 6ft 6in (1.98m) tall, expressed his excitement about starting a new chapter at the club. Speaking after completing his move, he said, "I am thrilled to be joining Newcastle United and starting a new chapter in the Premier League. I believe I can find my best level under the head coach here and I can't wait to get started."
Manager Eddie Howe praised Woltemade's qualities and believes he fits the profile for the attacking options at the club. Howe said, "Nick is a player with great potential and we believe he can make a significant impact at Newcastle United. He has room to develop and grow, and we are excited to see what he can achieve with us."
Woltemade, who will wear the number 27 shirt, has signed a six-year contract with the club. However, he will not be registered in time to play against Leeds United on Saturday.
High expectations are set for Woltemade to make an immediate impact at the club, as Alexander Isak's future with the club remains uncertain. Isak has made it clear he wants a move to Liverpool, potentially leaving a gap that Woltemade is set to fill.
Woltemade's signing was completed quickly by Newcastle United, with no predecessor for him at the club mentioned in the sources. He feels welcomed by the club and already considers it as family. Speaking about his first impressions, he said, "I am impressed by the stadium's atmosphere and I am excited to play and score goals there."
Manager Eddie Howe also spoke about Woltemade's warm welcome, saying, "Nick has been made to feel very welcome by everyone at the club and I am confident he will settle in quickly."
With Woltemade's signing, Newcastle United have made a clear statement of intent in the transfer market. Fans will be eagerly awaiting his debut and the impact he can make on the pitch.
