Throughout the summer, Bayern Munich have been linked with Germany’s next big striker, Nick Woltemade. The Bundesliga giant has a long tradition of rapping the best players at their rivals, but lost the battle for Florian Wirtz in the summer. Stuttgart striker Woltemade was supposed to secure, but here too it was a miss. Stuttgart refused to sell the 23-year-old for 55 million euros, now the player with a market value of 30 million euros disappears to the Premier League.
Newcastle have been chasing a striker all summer, where Benjamin Sesko, Hugo Ekitike, Yoan Wissa and most recently Jørgen Strand Larsen have been linked with a move to the traditional club in the north of England. No luck for Eddie Howe and the gang, but now it is reported that Newcastle are succeeding where Bayern Munich have fallen short.
