Newcastle agree £78m deal to sign Stuttgart and Germany striker Nick Woltemade

Transfer likely to open door for Isak to join Liverpool

Woltemade has been a Bayern target this summer

Newcastle have agreed a £78m deal for Stuttgart’s Germany striker Nick Woltemade, who is due to have a medical on Tyneside on Friday morning. The 23-year-old’s transfer could very well open the door to Alexander Isak securing his long-coveted move to Liverpool.

Woltemade has two Germany caps and loomed large on Bayern Munich’s shopping list this summer after scoring 17 goals in 33 appearances for Stuttgart last season. The fee includes £5m of add-ons.
