TBR Football understands Newcastle United have agreed terms with Stuttgart starlet Nick Woltemade, and we can confirm the player is due to travel to England for his medical.

Stuttgart sources say the deal is 90m (£77.8m), whilst Newcastle insist it is 75m (£64.8m).

Bayern Munich had hoped to seal the star of the recent European Championships, but did not have the funds.

We can reveal that Newcastle were made aware of his possible availability two weeks ago, but last week they agreed terms with the player.

Exclusive: Newcastle still want striker after Nick Woltemade

Woltemade is seen as the Alexander Isak replacement, but they are now hopeful of landing two strikers by Monday.

Newcastle talks are also ongoing over Jorgen Strand Larsen and Yoane Wissa.

TBR Football’s chief correspondent, Graeme Bailey, states that the Magpies are simply buzzing with the deal.

Bailey states: “Newcastle can hardly hide their excitement, internally they are over-the-moon, I am told.

“They approached him earlier in the summer, but they were told he was focused on Bayern.

“Once it emerged the Bayern deal could not be done, others became aware and Newcastle have made their move.

“He was quick to confirm his desire, and that impressed Newcastle and Eddie Howe.”
