Since joining the Magpies, Woltemade has scored three goals in four Premier League appearances and has netted in his last three consecutive games across all competitions.

This puts him joint top among all summer striker signings in the Premier League, alongside Hugo Ekiteke and Viktor Gyokeres.

Despite criticism from Bayern Munich legend Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, who called Newcastle's transfer a "ridiculous" move, Woltemade has proven his worth with his impressive form.

Rummenigge had previously stated that Bayern Munich had two bids rejected by Stuttgart to sign Woltemade, but the club refused to meet their asking price, instead signing Nicolas Jackson on loan from Chelsea.

Newcastle's head coach Eddie Howe defended the club's decision, saying that transfer fees are determined by market forces and that they are happy to have Woltemade on board.

"It's irrelevant," Howe said. "The market forces dictate transfer fees – not necessarily any one club."

The signing of Woltemade has allowed Newcastle to maintain their attacking style without having to overhaul their setup, as his presence in the box is a significant asset.

Standing at 6'6", Woltemade's height and physicality make him a valuable asset in the air, with two of his Premier League goals coming from headers.

His ability to adapt to the Premier League has been impressive, and even his team-mate Bruno Guimaraes has been surprised by his quick transition, saying: "Nick has been amazing for us, not just scoring goals, but the build-up, the way he dropped as a No 10."

Newcastle's signing of Woltemade may have been a risk, but it seems to be paying off, and the club is reaping the rewards of their investment.

It remains to be seen how Woltemade will continue to perform, but his early signs are promising, and he looks like he could be a valuable addition to the Newcastle squad.
