Newcastle's Nick Woltemade wowing teammates with tireless work ethic

Newcastle's Nick Woltemade is impressing teammates with his tireless work ethic. Find out what Sandro Tonali has to say about the £69m signing.

“For 90 minutes, he's the first player to defend and the first to attack. It's great to play with a striker like Nick...”

Nick Woltemade has drawn comparisons with Newcastle's former stars like Shearer, Keegan, and Isak after scoring in the League Cup win over Tottenham. The 23-year-old striker has enjoyed a terrific start to his time at Newcastle.

Woltemade explained his playing style to Sky Sports, saying, “I operate differently on the pitch than former Newcastle strikers. I rarely play deep and prefer to have the ball at my feet.” This approach has seen him score six goals in eleven games for the Magpies.

The Telegraph's headline after the Spurs match read, “Newcastle already have a new hero,” highlighting the impact Woltemade has had since joining from Stuttgart.

Newcastle's Alexander Isak replacement, Woltemade, has opened up about his seamless transition to the Premier League. Having joined the club from Bundesliga side Stuttgart in the summer, Woltemade admitted it was relatively easy for him to adapt to the flow of English football.

“I was very easy for me to arrive in Newcastle,” Woltemade said. “Everyone spoke to me a lot from day one,” he added, highlighting the welcoming nature of his new teammates and the club's efforts to ease his integration into the team.

Woltemade has garnered significant attention with six goals in eleven games for Newcastle. His impressive performance has earned him praise from fans and teammates alike. Sandro Tonali, in particular, has highlighted Woltemade's work ethic, stating, “For 90 minutes, he's the first player to defend and the first to attack. It's great to play with a striker like Nick.”

The Telegraph's headline after the Spurs match aptly captures the sentiment surrounding Woltemade: “Newcastle already have a new hero.” His impressive start to the season has sparked comparisons to Newcastle's former stars, with many noting his unique playing style and ability to adapt to the team.

“(It) made it easier for (me) to come to a foreign country with a foreign language. There are also German-speaking players like Fabian Schär and Malick Thiaw at the club, with whom I get on well.”
