Newcastle United makes record signing of German forward Nick Woltemade for up to £69 million.

Newcastle United signed German striker Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart for a club-record fee of £69 million. The 23-year-old scored 17 goals in 33 appearances last season. Manager Eddie Howe sees Woltemade as a strong addition to the team's attacking options. The signing may facilitate a potential transfer of Newcastle's top scorer Alexander Isak to Liverpool.
