Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is holding post-game training sessions to sharpen his side’s attacking edge after Alexander Isak’s departure left a major void. Record signing Nick Woltemade has only scored once since joining. Following a 4-1 Carabao Cup win, Howe staged drills at St James’ Park with Woltemade, Trippier, Livramento, Barnes and Tonali to sharpen finishing. With Isak now at Liverpool, Newcastle need Woltemade to adapt quickly or risk enduring a prolonged scoring drought.

Nick Woltemade silenced doubts over replacing £125m striker Alexander Isak by scoring a thunderous debut header in Newcastle’s 1-0 win over Fiorentina. The 23-year-old rose high in the first half to bury Jacob Murphy’s cross and ignite St James’ Park. Signed for £69m from Stuttgart, Woltemade’s aerial dominance and work rate impressed Eddie Howe, who hailed his “technical qualities and intelligence.” The debut goal settled nerves, with Toon fans chanting his name as he instantly began to fill Isak’s massive shoes.

Hamann: Chelsea “exploited” Bayern on Jackson loan

Hamann says Chelsea leveraged Bayern’s late-window striker scramble, extracting a €16m loan fee and a £70m option for Nicolas Jackson. Bayern pivoted to Jackson after missing Nick Woltemade (joined Newcastle for £65m) while future-planning behind 32-year-old Harry Kane. Bayern’s urgency post-Woltemade empowered Chelsea at the table. Jackson’s option looks steep given sub-20-goal seasons, but it buys Bayern a stopgap with upside while they reassess long-term No.9 succession. The move reflects scarcity at elite striker level and deadline-pressure premiums.
