Woltemade scored four goals in five starts for Newcastle. |
Once ridiculed by Bayern Munich as a "stupid deal", Woltemade has now made everyone take their hats off. The 1.98m tall striker is the biggest inspiration in the Newcastle squad when he continuously scored 4 goals in just 5 starts in all competitions. Woltemade even made Newcastle fans quickly forget Alexander Isak.
He became the third Newcastle player to score in his first three Premier League games at St James' Park, after Alan Shearer and Les Ferdinand. Woltemade also made history as the only Newcastle player to score in both his Premier League and Champions League debuts for the club.
When Newcastle spent €85 million to bring Woltemade from Stuttgart to St James' Park in the summer of 2025, many people were skeptical. A player just 23 years old having to adapt immediately to the speed and intensity of the Premier League was considered a risky gamble.
But Woltemade proved otherwise. His goal in the 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest confirmed his ability as a striker who is constantly improving. With his superior physique, ability to press and finish accurately, he is the most dangerous explosive point in every attack of the "Magpies".

Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest continue to decline. Since sacking Nuno Espirito Santo, the team under new coach Ange Postecoglou has not known victory with 2 draws and 5 losses. The club is currently in 17th place with only 5 points after 7 rounds.
According to Sky Sports and The Times , pressure is mounting on the Australian coach, with boss Evangelos Marinakis reportedly starting to consider alternatives if the poor run of results does not improve soon.
With the latest victory, Newcastle temporarily rose to 11th place with 9 points, and Woltemade became a symbol of the club's "dare to think, dare to do" philosophy. A contract that was once laughed at, is now a hope at St James' Park.
