Eddie Howe was delighted with Nick Woltemade's goalscoring debut after landing the striker to replace Alexander Isak.

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.

Newcastle United's record summer signing Nick Woltemade has been labelled a "true gentleman" after a visit to the popular city restaurant Khai Khai.

Newcastle United have sealed the signing of Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade for a reported £69 million ($93m), but the deal has already raised eyebrows.

Arne Slot congratulated Newcastle for signing striker Nick Woltemade ahead of Liverpool's potential new bid for Alexander Isak.
