Newcastle United forward Nick Woltemade has broken his silence following a wave of criticism regarding his recent performances for the Premier League side. The Germany international has seen his goal-scoring output dip as the season has progressed, but he has pointed out that a position change is a major reason for that.
Despite being a regular starter for VfB Stuttgart, Deniz Undav is nothing more than a permanent substitute when wearing the DFB jersey. Julian Nagelsmann explains his decisions, whilst Undav provides the perfect response.
In place of the in-form Deniz Undav, Nick Woltemade was given another chance to prove himself against Switzerland. For the national coach, it was a decision based on intuition and psychology.
When Newcastle beat Bayern Munich to the signing of towering Stuttgart frontman Nick Woltemade in August, it was seen as major coup on the back of their qualification for the 2025-26 Champions League. Indeed, Eddie Howe was delighted to see the club-record, £65 million ($88m) deal pushed through late in the summer transfer window, with the German snapped up as a replacement for Liverpool-bound Alexander Isak.
Newcastle United star Joelinton has praised the impact of Nick Woltemade since his switch to a midfield role ahead of the club's Champions League trip to Barcelona. The Brazilian highlighted his team-mate's tactical flexibility as the Magpies prepare for a massive night at the Spotify Camp Nou.
Newcastle United's preparations for their high-stakes midweek clash against Manchester United have been thrown into chaos following a sickness outbreak at Darsley Park. Striker Nick Woltemade is facing a race against time to be fit after missing several days of training, leaving manager Eddie Howe grappling with a depleted squad as the Magpies look to arrest their recent slump in Premier League form.
Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool, among others, have been told how much it will cost to lure Newcastle's star players away from St. James' Park this summer. A host of key Magpies players have been linked with departures in recent months as Premier League rivals seek to exploit their sub-par season to boost their own respective squads.
This is Legacy, GOAL's feature and podcast series following the road to the 2026 World Cup. Every week, we dive into the stories and the legacies that shaped football’s greatest nations. This time we turn to Germany, a nation once famed for producing the world’s deadliest strikers. From Gerd Müller to Miroslav Klose, the No.9 shirt was a symbol of power, precision, and pride. But since 2014, it’s become a question mark, a reflection of a team still searching for its next great finisher, and perhaps, for its own identity.
As we reach Christmas and approach the midway point in the Premier League season, the time has come to reflect on the first half of a campaign that has delivered drama and unexpected twists in abundance. It's also the opportune moment to assess those players who completed a transfer to, or within, the English top-flight back in the summer, with a decent sample size of games now under their belts.
Things are really heating up in the run-up to Christmas across Europe's top leagues, with Inter reclaiming top spot in Serie A, Lens surprisingly leading the way in Ligue 1 and Barcelona continuing to pile pressure on Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid. Over in Germany, though, it seems that nobody is really capable of dethroning Bayern Munich, but Premier League leaders Arsenal are looking more and more nervous with each passing week.
Nick Woltemade revealed a hilarious update on his rather lacklustre love life as the Newcastle summer signing admitted that he was single and is living with his best friend. The 23-year-old, who arrived from Stuttgart in a £69 million move just four months ago, lit up a pre-match press conference with his good humour when reporters showed interest in his private life.
Nick Woltemade has hit back at the “absurd” criticism aimed at Germany teammate Florian Wirtz after the Liverpool star’s slow start in the Premier League, insisting the £116 million signing will prove his quality in England. With Wirtz yet to score for Liverpool and facing scrutiny over his adaptation, Woltemade’s public defence adds fresh weight to calls for patience.
Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeness says the club gained a “huge advantage” by deciding against pursuing big-money moves for Benjamin Sesko, Xavi Simons and Jamie Gittens. The Bundesliga heavyweights were strongly linked with all three players before their respective switches to Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea in the summer.
Germany's new star forward Nick Woltemade finally broke his silence on the 'idiots' Newcastle claim made by Bayern Munich chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge after the Bundesliga champions lost the transfer race to sign the striker from Stuttgart for £65m. After selling Alexander Isak to Liverpool on deadline day, the Magpies brought Woltemade as the Swede's replacement.
Former Newcastle chief Amanda Staveley has thrown her support behind ex-Magpies striker Alexander Isak. The Swede has struggled for form following his record breaking move to Liverpool on deadline day, with his only goal for the Reds coming in a Carabao Cup win over Championship side Southampton back in September. Isak, though, has been backed to come good for Liverpool.
