Overview
- Eddie Howe said Nick Woltemade remains in his plans for next season and described targeted work in training to develop the striker’s game.
- Woltemade was an unused substitute against Brighton, has logged 25 minutes across Newcastle’s last four league matches, and last started in March.
- Howe said goals became harder to find after a strong start and noted that Will Osula and Anthony Gordon have led the line in recent weeks.
- Reports from the Daily Mail and Football Insider say the player is frustrated by limited minutes, while sources played down any push to leave, and Football Insider reports the club is preparing contingency options.
- The Germany international arrived last summer for about £69–71 million and opened with four goals in seven games, raising pressure to revive his form or confront decisions in the summer window.
