Nick Woltemade “wasn’t high on the list” of striker targets at Newcastle United this summer.
Newcastle signed Woltemade in a club-record deal from Stuttgart, with the £69million fee eclipsing the £63million they paid for Alexander Isak in 2022.
The Germany international registered 17 goals and three assists across his 33 appearances in all competitions last season.
“So, it’s a big challenge for the player, but he does look good on the clips, and no question the fee is just enormous.”

Newcastle made a move to sign Jorgen Strand Larsen last week, but they saw a £55million offer rejected for the forward.
Football Insider revealed on 31 August Wolves could offer Strand Larsen a new big-money contract to remain at Molineux.
The 25-year-old has registered 16 goals and five assists in 41 appearances since joining Vitor Pereira’s side last summer.
