Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade has been signed for a six-year contract by Newcastle United, breaking club records.

The 23-year-old Germany international, who stands at 6′ 6″, has signed for Newcastle in a £69 million deal.

This surpasses the $63 million investment that Newcastle made three years ago, making Alexander Isak the club’s most expensive player.

Given the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Isak’s future, who is determined to join Liverpool, Woltemade will have a significant role to play going forward.

He expressed his delight at this incredible club, “absolutely.” I initially got the impression that the club was interested in and had big plans for me.

Everyone has welcomed me so warmly and it already feels like family, but it’s a big step in my life to leave Germany. Talking with the head coach gave me the impression that this is where I should be at my absolute best.

“I have seen games on television and have seen the stadium, and I know the atmosphere is crazy. I’m very excited to begin scoring goals here.

Eddie Howe, the head coach of Newcastle United, stated: “We’re delighted to have Nick’s signing over the line so quickly. He provides exactly what we were looking to add to our attacking options.

Analysis can reveal things can be deceiving

Woltemade appears to be a battering ram from a center forward at first glance, but that is completely untrue.

The powerful striker, who has been nicknamed “Woltemessi” by Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, is technically gifted and adept at pulling his body out of tight spaces and linking play.

To cap a remarkable 12-month contract with Woltemade, Newcastle were persuaded to break their transfer record thanks to this distinctive profile.

Woltemade wasn’t even a household name in Germany until a year ago. When he joined Stuttgart as a free agent from Werder Bremen, he was not even guaranteed a starting position.

However, he has made some remarkable progress since then.

Woltemade won the first significant trophy of his career by winning 17 goals in 33 games for Stuttgart last year, including the German Cup final.

He then led Germany to the Under-21 World Cup final, where they lost to England in extra time, last month, and he led the group in scoring with six goals.

Woltemade won’t have much time to settle at Newcastle, incidentally, just like Isak did when he first joined the club three years ago and at a similar age and in the same window of opportunity. However, Under Howe and his staff, this is unmistakable.

Given the circumstances surrounding Isak and the short window of time, the black-and-whites will undoubtedly have felt they must make the move this summer.

After another impressive season in the Bundesliga, there is a very real chance that Woltemade, who also attracted bids from Bayern Munich, would have been unattainable.

However, it seems like Newcastle are not yet complete.

They are still active in the market and are interested in Brentford’s Yoane Wissa and Wolves’ Jorgen Strand Larsen.

There isn’t much time left for Wolves or Brentford to find a replacement before Monday’s 19:00 BST deadline, so neither deal would be simple to close. However, things can change quickly.

How Woltemade deal could trigger ‘house-sale chain’ linked to Isak

Since the Newcastle striker dropped his now-infamous “broken promises” statement ten days ago, Liverpool’s second bid for Alexander Isak has been unavoidable.

We are still waiting for the Premier League champions’ improved second offer, which came after their original £110 million offer was rejected on August 1st, with three days until the transfer window closes.

However, sources continue to say that it is only a matter of time before the Reds make a new deal, likely worth at least £120 million, to land Isak in what would be a British record deal.

And that action is the catalyst for a number of other transfers before Monday’s deadline.

Isak, Nick Woltemade, Yoane Wissa, Yvon Wissa, and Max Beier from Borussia Dortmund have to be in a house-sale chain, with all the necessary values, contracts, and moving dates planned for it to work.

Isak’s Instagram post, which read, “The relationship can’t continue,” is thought to be the start of a move by Liverpool to resume their search for the Sweden international.

Despite Newcastle’s efforts to reach a resolution earlier this week, the 25-year-old’s family has confirmed to BBC Sport that his intention is still to relocate to Anfield.

The only thing left is for Liverpool to submit what they believe to be a successful second bid for Isak, which has been a process for some time, according to sources.

Woltemade was Newcastle’s first move in a club record deal worth up to £69 million, making the chain the first to go on Saturday.

Before Isak’s desire to join Liverpool in the upcoming days, the first of three dominoes may need to fall.

The club made it clear in Newcastle’s response to Isak’s seismic post last week that “the conditions of a sale this summer have not occurred,” before saying that they did not “foresee those conditions being met.”

Those conditions triple. Newcastle will sign two strikers after the first two.

Woltemade is the first of those. The fact that Newcastle paid a club record fee for the German international suggests that Isak is entering the first-choice striker category, which Isak would normally hold.

Although Woltemade chose to use 27 instead of Isak’s number nine shirt.

Yoane Wissa, a forward from Brentford who has been hailed as the replacement for Callum Wilson since his departure, is still wanted by Newcastle.

The Magpies have already turned down two offers for Wissa from Brentford, the most recent of which was worth $35 million plus £5 million in additions.

According to sources close to the deal, the transfer will accelerate once Brentford sign another attacker following their capture of Bournemouth forward Dango Ouattara.

As Dortmund close negotiations with Brentford for Wolves attacker Fabio Silva, Dortmund are also interested in a move Beier.

Wissa is anticipated to relocate to St James’ Park if Beier joins Brentford.

Jorgen Strand Larsen is also a target for Newcastle, despite the club’s steadfast stance that the Norwegian international is not for sale. The Magpies have already rejected two bids from the club.

With Liverpool seeking Isak, Wissa or Larsen would become the second domino.

the third ? agreeing a deal between the clubs.

Newcastle’s willingness to sell Isak, who is still training with Eddie Howe’s squad, is evidenced by the fact that they are actively looking to sign two forwards.

The military-police pipeline

Domestic police forces’ arsenals increasingly include weapons of war.

Few people in Bangladesh are as aware of that as protesters. Up to 1,400 people were killed, according to the UN during the student uprising in 2024, the majority of whom were killed by state security forces.

However, police forces in more powerful regions of the world have started to appear and act more like armies over the past few decades. The United States has been the model for how military strategies and tactics for remote conflicts have been translated back into their native tongues and taken to civilian life.
