VfB Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade is set to join Newcastle United | OneFootball

VfB Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade is set to join Newcastle United in a €90 million deal, according to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg.

Newcastle have been looking to bring a new striker to the St James’ Park club all summer and have finally signed one.

Woltemade is on his way to England to join the Magpies and has already said goodbye to his teammates.

His medical is scheduled for Friday, and he is viewed as a replacement for Alexander Isak.

Newcastle are now likely to sell the Sweden international striker to Liverpool before the transfer deadline on Monday if they meet their demands.

Woltemade was first linked with Newcastle last month, but Bayern Munich were looking to sign him at the time.

The 23-year-old featured for Germany at the European Under-21 Championship in June, bagging six goals to win the Golden Boot at the tournament.

Woltemade was also in solid form for Stuttgart last term, scoring 17 times in 33 appearances.

The German can also play behind a striker and on the wings, with his dribbling and technical ability on the ball being among his biggest strengths.

He is a constant aerial threat in both boxes, and his impressive vision and physicality should help him hit the ground running in the Premier League.

Newcastle knocked back £110m from Liverpool for Isak last month. They are looking for around £150m before agreeing to sell their most prized asset.
