Newcastle United's New Striker Nick Woltemade Set to Make Premier League Debut

Newcastle United have bolstered their attacking options with the signing of 23-year-old German striker Nick Woltemade. The club announced the signing on a reported €90 million deal, making him one of the most expensive signings in the club's history.

Woltemade, who stands at 6 feet 7 inches tall, has been compared to former England striker Peter Crouch due to his height and technical ability. However, Woltemade is reported to be a little quicker than Crouch and is known for his superior heading skills.

Alexander Isak, a Swedish striker who transferred from Newcastle to FC Liverpool for a Premier League record fee of approximately 145-150 million euros in September 2025, is expected to be the main striker for Newcastle for the rest of the season. With Isak's departure imminent, Woltemade is set to take centre stage upfront.

Woltemade is yet to make his Premier League debut, but he will have the opportunity to do so against Wolves on September 13. The German striker started his professional career at Stuttgart but did not play in the Champions League last season as he was not included in the squad.

Liverpool are reportedly ready to offer £130m ($175m) for Alexander Isak, which could accelerate his move to Anfield. Woltemade's signing increases the likelihood of Isak leaving Newcastle United, but the club has not commented on the speculation.

Despite his relatively short career, Woltemade has already demonstrated his potential at Borussia Dortmund and Real Sociedad before joining Newcastle. With his impressive height, speed, and heading ability, Woltemade is expected to be a valuable addition to the Newcastle United squad.

As the season unfolds, fans will be eager to see Woltemade in action and whether he can live up to the high expectations that come with his price tag. With Isak's departure, the pressure is on Woltemade to deliver the goods and help Newcastle United secure a top-half finish in the Premier League.
