Newcastle have officially announced the signing of striker Nick Woltemade, who is joining for a fee reportedly of £69million.
The giant Germany international will wear the number 27 at St James’ Park and is delighted to get a deal over the line.
“I’m really happy to be at this amazing club. From the first contact, I felt like the club really wanted me and had big plans for me,” he said.
“It’s a big step in my life to leave Germany but everybody has welcomed me so well and it already feels like family. I have a really good feeling from speaking to the head coach that this is the right place for me to find my best level.
“I know the stadium from watching games on television – it looks amazing and I know the atmosphere is crazy. I’m really excited to play and start scoring goals here.”
