Overview

• On his Premier League bow, the 23-year-old headed the only goal in a 1-0 victory over Wolves at St James’ Park.
• He said he asked to be substituted in the 65th minute because of cramps rather than injury, with William Osula coming on.
• Newcastle brought him in late from Stuttgart in a reported club-record deal as part of a forward rebuild after Alexander Isak moved to Liverpool and Callum Wilson joined West Ham.
• With Yoane Wissa injured, Eddie Howe started Woltemade at center forward, highlighting thin depth up front for the immediate fixtures.
• The schedule now stiffens with Barcelona in the Champions League on 18 September and Arsenal later this month, offering a clearer measure of the new attack.
