Woltemade Hits 6 in 11 as Newcastle Reach Cup Quarters, Intensifying Isak Comparisons

Bayern Munich are said to be tracking the 23-year-old’s progress, according to former scout Mick Brown.

Overview

  • Nick Woltemade scored in Newcastle’s 2-0 Carabao Cup win over Tottenham, booking a quarter-final tie against Fulham.
  • He has six goals in 11 appearances since a reported €75m/£69m summer move from Stuttgart.
  • Transfermarkt’s analysis shows 0.73 goals and assists per 90 minutes in his first 11 games, comparing favorably to Alexander Isak’s 0.49 goals per 90 over his first 11.
  • Spurs boss Thomas Frank said his side “did not” deal with Woltemade on the key play, while teammate Fabian Schär hailed the striker as “immense.”
  • Former scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that Bayern are monitoring Woltemade as a long-term option, adding Newcastle are unlikely to entertain exit talk given his start and contract.
