Newcastle had a difficult start to the season, but their form has improved significantly in recent weeks, coinciding with the rise of Nick Waltemade, who has made a huge impact since making a club-record move from Stuttgart at the end of the summer transfer window.
Woltemade came on as a replacement for Alexander Isak and has so far given his all at St James’ Park. The 23-year-old has scored six goals in 11 appearances in all competitions, four of which came in the Premier League.

It has been reported in recent weeks that Voltemade would welcome a move to Bayern Munich in the coming years, but Football Insider claims Keith Wyness has urged him to remain loyal to Newcastle.
“He’s got to be consistent. It’s only the beginning of the season so he’s got to show us over a period of time that he can really do it. He needs to score 15 to 20 goals to really make his mark. And even then, I think he’s likely to spend another season on Tyneside. So I don’t see a move happening anytime soon.”
“I think he should focus on his place and keep the Toon faithful happy. I like his style, it’s clunky for sure. He’s got some nice little flicks. I saw that nice backheel goal. It’s great. I don’t think he will go to Ern Munich or return to Germany in the near future. I think we have to keep focusing on him scoring 15 or 20 goals a season, so he might be considered by one of the bigger German players. ”
Waltemade could very well return to Germany in the future, but for now he is a Newcastle player and looks very comfortable on Tyneside.
