The 23-year-old forward has impressed at the U21 European Championship this summer, including a commanding hat-trick versus Slovenia.

He also delivered 17 goals in the Bundesliga with Stuttgart, helping secure DFB Pokal silverware.

His blend of height, strength, and technical skill has drawn impressive comparisons to top strikers like Harry Kane and Lautaro Martinez.

Nicknamed “The Tower of Stuttgart”, Woltemade stands at 6’6” and carries a price tag of approximately £32 million.

With Newcastle keen to boost their attacking options, the Magpies are now tracking Woltemade’s development as interest intensifies in the 2025 summer transfer window.
