Newcastle United Issue Official Response After Nick Woltemade Transfer Approach Claim
Newcastle sources deny Napoli asked about a loan for Nick Woltemade, while Matthias Jaissle says he expects the striker to stay.
- Newcastle United officials denied reports of a Napoli enquiry for striker Nick Woltemade on Thursday, with manager Matthias Jaissle dismissing transfer speculation and reiterating his expectation the German forward will remain at the club.
- Woltemade joined Newcastle from Stuttgart last summer for a club-record £66 million but has struggled for consistency since the turn of the year, navigating a challenging transition under new management.
- Despite the goal-scoring drought, Jaissle praised Woltemade's effort in Wednesday's 3-2 Carabao Cup win, stating "He was fighting. It's not easy as a single striker," and emphasized the club's commitment to supporting his development.
- With Will Osula sidelined by a foot injury from Sunday's Liverpool draw, Woltemade and Yoane Wissa are the only two available senior strikers, making his retention critical for upcoming fixtures.
- Tuesday's transfer deadline approaches as Jaissle acknowledged that "football is quite complex and things can change from one day to the other," despite his stated expectation the squad will remain intact.
