Overview
- The 23-year-old headed Newcastle’s second in a 2-0 Carabao Cup win over Tottenham, sealing a quarter-final tie against Fulham and taking his tally to six goals in 11 appearances.
- Tottenham’s Thomas Frank conceded his side “did not” deal with Woltemade’s presence in the box on the decisive moment.
- Team-mate Fabian Schär called the 6'6" striker “immense,” and Eddie Howe said his link play impresses and his game “can only get better.”
- Former scout Mick Brown said Bayern Munich are continuing to monitor Woltemade as a long-term option, while insisting Newcastle will not entertain exit talk given his start and contract.
- Signed from Stuttgart for a reported £69m to succeed Alexander Isak, Woltemade’s first 11-game return compares favorably with Isak’s early numbers at Newcastle, per Transfermarkt.
