Liverpool are reportedly ready to submit a British-record £130 million ($175m) bid for Alexander Isak as Newcastle close in on Nick Woltemade as a replacement. The Reds, who have been circling the Swedish forward all summer, are said to be moving closer to tabling an official offer this weekend, with The Telegraph claiming the next 48 hours will be crucial.
Arne Slot congratulated Newcastle for signing striker Nick Woltemade ahead of Liverpool's potential new bid for Alexander Isak. The Magpies are reportedly on the verge of announcing their most expensive signing in club history after striking a £74 million deal with Stuttgart for the German striker. His arrival comes at a crucial moment for Eddie Howe’s squad, with Anthony Gordon suspended and Isak’s future hanging by a thread.
Newcastle United have sealed the signing of Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade for a reported £69 million ($93m), but the deal has already raised eyebrows. Former Germany international Dietmar Hamann has labelled the move "a trip into the unknown" and claimed the Magpies have overpaid, with the transfer also paving the way for Alexander Isak to join Liverpool.
Nick Woltemade's career on Tyneside got off to the best possible start, as the German striker scored the winner in Newcastle's 1-0 win over Wolves at St. James's Park. The 22-year-old spoke positively about the experience, and his new manager Eddie Howe, but also admitted "the Premier League is quite hard", revealing he was experiencing cramp during his debut.
