had the ball and I wanted to go behind the centre back and luckily the goalkeeper was coming out, so I just had to head it in,” he told Sky Sports. “I think I play different from the other strikers they had here.” This statement highlights his preference for receiving the ball at his feet rather than simply heading or running onto it.
Newcastle’s New Star
The 28-year-old Germany international has quickly established himself as a key player since joining Newcastle from Stuttgart in a deal worth £69 million. With seven goals in his first ten appearances, Woltemade has already made a significant impact on the team. His performance against Tottenham further underscores his potential to be a vital part of Newcastle’s attacking lineup.
Woltemade also commented on his adjustment to life in England and integrating into the team. “This team is so easy for me to come here, new country, a new language,” he said. “I feel welcome here even from the first day everyone was talking to me.” This sense of community and support has reportedly made it easier for him to adapt to both the club and the English environment.
Team Connection
The striker believes that the connection within the team is key to their success. “I think we all have a good connection which makes it easier for me and even for the other new players,” he added. This cohesion among teammates could be a significant factor in Newcastle’s recent form and future prospects.
Looking Ahead
Newcastle United will now face Fulham in the next round of the Carabao Cup. Despite the current success, Woltemade remains focused on maintaining his form and contributing to the team’s goals.
“We have a good connection which makes it easier for me and even for the other new players,” he reiterates. As Newcastle continues its push in both domestic and European competitions, fans will be eager to see how much of an impact Woltemade can make as the season progresses.
