LONDON: The Saudi-backed Newcastle United have signed German forward Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart in a club-record deal, the Premier League club said on Saturday. Financial details were not revealed but British media reported that the deal was worth £69 million( $93.21 million). The 23-year-old’s deal eclipses the £63 million Newcastle paid for Sweden striker Alexander Isak three years ago when he became the club’s most expensive player. Woltemade came through Werder Bremen’s academy and became their youngest Bundesliga debutant in 2020 at the age of 17.

Jetzt wechselt Nick Woltemade doch noch. Statt nach München geht's für Stuttgarts Nationalstürmer aber in die Premier League - für eine stattliche Ablösesumme.

Club have been looking for a Callum Wilson replacement but signing of this cost likely to encourage Liverpool in Alexander Isak pursuit
