Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl wanted to acquire Nick Woltemade from VfB Stuttgart last summer.

Towering striker Nick Woltemade showed once again why Newcastle’s money men played an absolute blinder on the transfer market as he scored twice more in Saturday’s 2-2 draw against Chelsea, with his record comparing very favourably to the man he replaced, Alexander Isak.

Nick Woltemade scored a first-half brace but it wasn’t enough for The Magpies to secure three points at St James’ Park.

Flashes of potential from Nick Woltemade and a team which can’t finish the job. It’s becoming a theme for Newcastle this season.

One would be hard pressed to find a German footballer who had a better 2025 calendar year than current Newcastle striker Nick Woltemade. When 2025 began, the now 23-year-old wasn’t even on VfB Stuttgart’s Champions League squad and had scored only four Bundesliga goals during the 2024 phase of the season.

You never quite know what you are going to get with this Newcastle side. But Eddie Howe's team certainly looked like their old selves in the first half and they got their reward for an aggressive start as Nick Woltemade bounced back on his first start since putting through his own net in the derby defeat against Sunderland last week.
