According to track and field, Newcastle United is about to complete one of the most important signings in the summer transfer window, with the club struck a deal to attract Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade.
The 23-year-old German international will move to St. James’ Park after weeks of negotiations between the two clubs.
Newcastle’s pursuit of Woltemade is part of Eddie Howe, due to an uncertain future for Alexander Isak, Eddie Howe strengthens the offensive choice of Hippies.

The Swedish striker still hasn’t played for Hipies this season, and he desperately hopes to leave the club and join Liverpool this summer.
Bayern Munich had previously submitted up to three formal bids for Woltemade, but all were firmly rejected by Stuttgart, who were determined to pay premium fees.
This position seems to have paid off, with Newcastle finally agreeing to a €70 million package, plus a potential bonus of €5 million.
Woltemade has established himself as one of the most exciting strikers in German football, and he is understood to have received a full recognition of the transfer.
Medical has been arranged for Woltemade
Personal terms have long been agreed upon, and the striker has now been granted permission to travel to the UK. He is currently being scheduled to receive medical treatment within the next 24 hours, which will pave the way for the official unveiling.
The signing is expected to add depth and quality to Newcastle’s frontline.
If completed, the move would represent a significant statement from Newcastle, not only in defeating Bayern Munich’s signature, but also indicative of their commitment to making substantial investments in players who can make an immediate impact.
Even if that might mean Isak might leave the club soon, at least the managers and fans are happy to let the young forward lead their offense with a promising future.
