Can Nick Woltemade play his first game for Newcastle against Leeds United this coming weekend?
Newcastle United on the Brink of Securing Striker Nick Woltemade
Newcastle United are set to officially announce the signing of striker Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart, with the medical examination scheduled for today (Friday 29 August). The transfer, reportedly worth £69m, is expected to be finalized by the end of the week, with the official announcement imminent.
Woltemade, who has scored 17 goals and registered 3 assists in all competitions for Stuttgart, is highly anticipated by Newcastle fans. The delay in his debut, however, may provide relief for supporters, as it comes amidst the resolution of the Alexander Isak saga.
Isak, a striker in his own right, had reportedly gone on strike to force through a move to Liverpool, but Newcastle United refused to let him go without a suitable replacement. With Woltemade's transfer now close to completion, the Isak saga appears to be coming to a close.
Eddie Howe, Newcastle United's manager, has confirmed that Woltemade will not be making his debut against Leeds United this weekend. Instead, the striker is expected to be eased into the team, allowing him time to settle into his new environment and get to know his team-mates.
Registration issues are said to be the cause of the delay in Woltemade's debut. These issues are expected to be resolved with the extra week's wait, providing ample time for the lengthy paperwork to be processed.
The news of Woltemade's signing has been met with excitement by Newcastle fans, who are eager to see the striker in action. With his impressive goalscoring record and promising potential, Woltemade is set to make a significant impact on the Newcastle United squad.
Transfermarkt values Woltemade at £30m, making him a valuable addition to the Magpies' attack. As the transfer is finalized, Newcastle United fans can look forward to welcoming their new striker to St. James' Park.
