Nick Woltemade arrived in Newcastle United in the dying phases of this summer’s transfer window.
Bayern Munich Messing Stuttgart with three offers under their appreciation, the third (and last) of those offers was £ 52 million.
Stuttgart sick from the way in which the ruling champions had behaved (sounds known?) By trying to get Nick Woltemade cheap.
Newcastle United then hit the window late with an offer of £ 65 million (plus £ 4.3 million in potential future add-ons).
Bayern Munich remained stunned because they assumed that they could just come in January or next summer and then picked up Nick Woltemade. As finally, they saw him as the replacement in the longer term for Harry Kane, which will be 33 next summer, so no haste …
With Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak departure, Eddie Howe needed two new strikers, which is why Yoane Wissa and Nick Woltemade arrived.
Since the signing of the German striker, I think there is a nasty lead over the media, both nationally in this country and especially in Germany. The coverage so negative and a real despair for Nick Woltemade to fail.
This only got worse in the international break, when Nick Woltemade was thrown into the deep end with Germany.
Despite the fact that he only made his international debut this summer and plays only 105 minutes for Germany in two games, Julian Nagelsmann had available because of no other credible strikers, no other option than starting the Newcastle United Striker in both qualifications of the World Cup group. Germany lost 2-0 to Slovakia and then Woltemade got an assist for the first goal, because Northern Ireland was defeated 3-1 but in a non-trading way.
Very incredible, there is a determination of so many in the media to make Nick Woltemade the scapegoat for the poor performance of Germany, even though he had played only 105 international minutes earlier and Germany had a very weakened side that missed so much of their better creative players. The fact is that there were still many experienced players who were still in Germany team who certainly had to take almost all responsibility for the bad performances, especially when the service to in the two games in Wolden was so bad.
I think there is a lot of bitterness in Germany that their promising young striker has left the Bundesliga for the Premier League. While you also have Bayern Munich who are so influential in the media, which spread so much poison after they have missed the 23 -year -old.
Regarding the media in the UK? Well, they are always more than happy to become negative when it comes to Newcastle United. The clear story that they really want is a where Newcastle United was forced to sell Alexander Isak and then replaced him with a new signing of the club record that fails miserably.
In Realitty, it is not necessary to understand that Eddie Howee Wissa has signed as De Route to go, Premier League experienced striker and goal scorer. While Nick Woltemade runs more carefully and looks to manage his involvement, his minutes. Injuries and fitness permit, my money would be on Yoane Wissa, starting against Wolves Barcelona and Bournemouth, where Nick Woltemade comes off the bank every time. After that Premier League and Champions League, Nick Woltemade corresponds to his first start against Bradford in the Carabao Cup.
Eddie Howe has chosen this brave approach with new players on a consistent base, especially if they have a limited first teaching experience and/or come from another competition, another country. Even Brazil International Bruno Guimaraes then received a series of short sub -performances at NUFC before more than six weeks at NUFC. Even that was largely forced because of injuries in the team. Bruno then does not make his first home start until April 2022, more than two months after it at the club at the club.
Nick Woltemade is 23, but actually made a very start at the highest level.
His circumstances are that he had a season in which he was really good on loan as a 20 -year -old in the German third layer, but in the end had very few first team opportunities with Werder Bremen.
So far, Nick Woltemade had only started 14 Bundesliga in his entire career, so when it arrived at the end of June 2024, he decided not to sign a new Werder Bremen contract and instead he left for Stuttgart who had promised to give him a decent opportunity. He rewarded them nicely, in 17 Bundesliga and 11 sub -performances in the 2024/25 season, Woltemade scored 12 goals on an average of one every 135 Bundesliga minutes he played. Moreover, he scored five goals in five German cup last season, including one in the final when Stuttgart won the cup.
Nick Woltemade then asked to play in the summer in the summer and completed top scorer in the tournament with six goals.
The big story is that he only really had this in 12 months and given his chance, has shown incredible progress.
However, he is still very inexperienced and started a total of 32 league games in every top layer (Bundesliga) of every competition.
It is again a huge leap to make the Premier League, but Nick Woltemade has a lot of potential and every chance that he can succeed if he is treated well.
This despair to try to distinguish it was made a ridiculous signing by Newcastle United, when he only received his first senior competitions for Germany and Bayern Munich this summer this summer, offered £ 52 million with the intention that he was their final first choice of the center for the center when Harry Kane is no longer.
This is a very inflated transfer market where the Premier League clubs are worried, so that all records are broken with more than £ 3.1 billion spent this summer, loading more money from the new TV deals that start this season and the Premier League clubs spend more money than all clubs in the Bundesliga, League.
Newcastle United with a guaranteed transfer costs of £ 65 million, which is £ 13 million more than the highest bid of Bayern Munich, which declined Stuttgart because the Bundesliga champions offered less than its value.
Premier League clubs pay more routine for overseas signing sessions than when they had gone to clubs in other competitions, which happened this summer with a lot of players, including Sesko and Ekitike.
Perhaps Newcastle United paid something like £ 10 million more than in other circumstances they would rather have, but this is a huge season and Eddie Howe had to have two strikers, plus banking about £ 130 million from Alexander Isak meant that they had cash and huge PSR -FLEX.
I also think that a despair to see Nick Woltemade as a panic, but Eddie Howe would not buy anyone without fully knowing what they are about and detailed information about them over a certain period. I think it was a chance of not despair, Eddie Howe who wanted Nick Woltemade after Bayern Munich had tampered with Stuttgart and withdrew all the other interested clubs, believing that the striker was sure for Bayern because he originally made it clear this summer.
Nick Woltemade is not certain, but with Eddie Howe to guide his progress, I have the confidence that he will prove a success. The striker is still a relatively inexperienced rough diamond, but one that can be polished by Eddie Howe and his staff, to prove a very good signing and goal scorer.
