Newcastle are in talks with Stuttgart for striker Nick Woltemade, talkSPORT understands.The Magpies were interested in Woltemade earlier this summer and have diverted back to 23-year-old after failing to agree deals for Yoane Wissa and Jorgen Strand Larsen.Newcastle are in talks to sign Woltemade from Stuttgart before the transfer deadlineGettyBoth Brentford and Wolves have rejected multiple bids from the Toon Army for Wissa and Strand Larsen, respectively.Woltemade scored 12 goals in 28 Bundesliga appearances for Stuttgart last season and is understood to be valued at around €70million (£60.4m).He followed up his impressive campaign with six goals and three assists for Germany at the Under-21 Euros.Bayern’s previous interest in WoltemadeBayern Munich previously eyed a move for Woltemade back in June but cooled their interest after being quoted £86million by Stutgart, even after they had agreed personal terms with the 6ft 6in striker.German football icon Rudi Voller is one of many to have sung Woltemade’s praises, declaring the striker as ‘simply fun to watch’.“Not only has he already scored four goals, but you can also always pass to him, which is what makes him so valuable,” Voller said.“He holds the ball, and if he loses it, it’s usually a foul against him.”Mainz winger Paul Nebel was another who lavished praise on Woltemade, branding him an ‘exceptional player’.How could Woltemade fit in at Newcastle?Should Newcastle complete the deal, Woltemade could be thrust straight into the starting line-up given Alexander Isak’s continued absence and Anthony Gordon’s looming three-game suspension.Isak’s future remains under a cloud of uncertainty given he has stated his desire to move on.GettyWoltemade is set to fetch Stuttgart a major windfall[/caption]Defending Premier League champions Liverpool are the only club to have lodged an official bid for Isak this summer, although it was swiftly rejected by the Magpies.Isak has also not featured in either of Newcastle’s matchday squads for their opening two games of the Premier League season.Gordon, who lined up as a left winger last term while Isak started up top, has filled in as the striker in the Swede’s absence.Although his blistering pace caused havoc against Aston Villa on the opening day, Gordon’s enthusiasm got the better of him in the enthralling 3-2 defeat to Liverpool last Monday.Gordon opted to lead the press by sprinting across Liverpool’s backline but earned himself a red card for a nasty challenge on Reds skipper Virgil van Dijk.The sending off means Gordon will not return to domestic action for the Magpies until their third round Carabao Cup tie against Bradford City in the week beginning September 22.
