That's what Newcastle had sorely lacked.With Alexander Isak on strike, and no senior recognised forward available, Eddie Howe's side failed to score in two of their opening three games of the campaign, picking up just a couple of points in the process.Enter Woltemade.Newcastle would have ideally liked to ease Woltemade in, as the German had never played outside of his homeland before.The club even brought in a proven Premier League forward in Yoane Wissa on deadline day to help share the burden following Isak's British record move to Liverpool.But Wissa suffered a knee injury on international duty with DR Congo, so head coach Howe had little option but to throw Woltemade in from the off against Wolves – just a few days after he trained with his new team-mates for the first time.He quickly made an impact.Woltemade is not a traditional target man – the 6ft 6in is a technician capable of wriggling out of tight spaces and linking play – but the debutant opened his account with a classic number nine's goal.Jacob Murphy, who laid on so many goals for Isak last season, delivered a ball into the box, and the new arrival provided the scoring header.It was the cue for the home support to break out into a chant of: "Woltemade, Woltemade, ole, ole, ole."And they were later on their feet to give him a standing ovation after he was replaced by William Osula midway through the second half.Forwards are revered in these parts and it looks as if Woltemade has already been embraced by Newcastle fans.To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.This video can not be playedMedia caption, ShareNewcastle 1-0 Wolves: What Howe saidpublished at 17:40 BST 13 September17:40 BST 13 SeptemberTo play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.This video can not be playedMedia caption, Newcastle boss Eddie Howe spoke to BBC Sport after their victory over Wolves: "I thought we played pretty well after the first five minutes. The fact we haven't won a game puts more pressure on you in the latter stages."The win was all that mattered but we'd love to win in a better style and score more goals. We're defending well as a team."It was great to see Nick [Woltemade] score on his debut. Very strong, I was very pleased with him. Tactically he understood what we wanted. It was a shift for him, he had cramp at the end. He took his goal brilliantly."I didn't see much wrong with the team performance at all. I was really pleased with the commitment of the players."On whether Woltemade and Yoane Wissa can play together: "It's something we can do and we'll look at. I don't know if we want to change the tactical framework too much but I'll never rule anything out."Did you know?Since the start of the 2024-25 season, only Mohamed Salah (19) has more open play assists in the Premier League than Newcastle's Jacob Murphy (12).Share17:00 BST 13 SeptemberWoltemade scores on debut as Newcastle beat Wolves, published at 17:00 BST 13 SeptemberWoltemade scores on debut as Newcastle beat WolvesAttributionPremier LeagueComments541Newcastle 1-0 Wolves - send us your thoughtspublished at 16:59 BST 13 September16:59 BST 13 SeptemberWhether you were at the game or following from elsewhere, we want to know what you learned.Have your say on Newcastle's performanceWhat did you make of Wolves' display?Come back on Monday for a selection of your repliesShareNewcastle v Wolves: Team news published at 14:07 BST 13 September14:07 BST 13 SeptemberNewcastle United record signing Nick Woltemade has been handed his debut.Eddie Howe makes three changes from the side who drew against Leeds United before the international break as Joelinton and Harvey Barnes also come in.Newcastle XI: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento, Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Murphy, Woltemade, BarnesSubs: Ramsdale, Hall, Botman, Thiaw, Krafth, Osula, Elanga, Willock, MileyNew Wolves signing Tolu Arokodare will also make his first appearance for the club as the visitors make five changes.Wolves XI: Johnstone, R.Gomes, Mosquera, Agbadou, Toti, H.

BBC Sport takes a look at some of the key themes before Saturday's match.Newcastle spent approximately ￡240m this summer, the fourth highest total in the top flight. Their net spend was a more modest ￡90m, thanks largely to the acrimonious departure of Alexander Isak for a British record ￡125m, but there are still plenty of reasons for optimism on Tyneside.Club record signing Nick Woltemade could make his bow at the weekend, as might fellow new arrival Yoane Wissa, while Barcelona will visit St James' Park on Thursday in an eagerly anticipated Champions League game.Woltemade has started four times already for club and country this season but Magpies boss Eddie Howe may be tempted to ease the 22-year-old into action as he adjusts to a new league and the pressure from his ￡65m price tag.It is only 14 months since the striker joined Stuttgart from Werder Bremen on a free but he has enjoyed a rapid rise since, netting 17 league and cup goals during a breakout season, winning the German Cup and finishing as top scorer at this summer's European Under-21 Championship.The 6ft 6in player is an aerial threat but by no means fits the profile of a classic target man. Instead he is a technically strong footballer who looks to link play and run with the ball, finishing sixth among Bundesliga strikers for dribbles attempted last season.Last term, he also ranked fourth in the top European leagues for most touches in the opposition box per 90 minutes, and the company he keeps in that metric is telling. The other leading players are either wingers or attacking midfielders - like Jamal Musiala and Bukayo Saka - or forwards, such as Mohamed Salah and Kylian Mbappe, who look to get on the ball and make things happen rather than simply lurking as penalty-box predators.Why Newcastle wanted Strand LarsenWolves are the Premier League's only pointless side, and will also be without key centre-forward Jorgen Strand Larsen, who sat out their defeat by Everton with an Achilles issue amid interest from Newcastle.Wolves boss Vitor Pereira said on Friday that Strand Larsen's "[recent] injury was a bit more serious" and he is "not in a condition for the game".The Molineux club rejected ￡50m and ￡55m bids from the Magpies and will now offer the Norwegian an improved contract to reflect his importance to the club, following 14 Premier League goals in his debut campaign.His contribution was at times overshadowed by eye-catching displays from the now-departed Matheus Cunha, who netted 15 times, including five strikes from outside the penalty area. But when Cunha missed four games through suspension in March and April it was Strand Larsen who stepped up, scoring in crucial wins over Southampton, West Ham and Ipswich to effectively guarantee safety for Wolves.Where Strand Larsen has excelled is by making the most of his chances. His shot conversion figure last term - the percentage of efforts resulting in a goal – was 25.9%, which was the second highest recorded by any player with at least 20 attempts. He also directed 69.4% of his shots on target, the leading percentage among forwards who start regularly, and overperformed his expected goals total by 3.74.Pereira will want him back as soon as possible.Share'Woltemade may have to be thrown straight in'published at 16:30 BST 12 September16:30 BST 12 SeptemberCiaran KellyNewcastle United reporterImage source, Getty ImagesIt is not often a manager is asked a number of questions about another club's record signing.But this was the first time Eddie Howe faced the press since Alexander Isak left Newcastle United and completed his ￡125m move to Liverpool.Howe, like Isak, did not necessarily go into excessive detail about the manner of the centre-forward's departure.But the Newcastle head coach tellingly used the word "strike" for the first time on Friday after Isak trained away from the rest of his former team-mates and did not feature in any of Newcastle's opening three games of the campaign.And rather than referring to Liverpool by name, Howe called the champions "the other club".You suspect Howe will just be glad to speak about players currently on Newcastle's books moving forward.Although Isak is one of the best strikers in the world, it feels like Newcastle's season really starts now following a resolution to the saga.Newcastle will at least have some firepower for the visit of Wolves to St James' Park on Saturday after the black-and-whites scored just two goals in games against Aston Villa, Liverpool and Leeds United.New signing Yoane Wissa will miss the match with a knee injury, but record arrival Nick Woltemade looks primed to make his debut.The German will clearly need time to adapt after never playing in the Premier League before.But he may have to be thrown straight in - just as Isak was after joining Newcastle in 2022.Share??

We will have to see how he is. I don't know [if it will be a long term injury]. "Elsewhere in the squad, Jacob Ramsey is the only other injury concern for Howe: "Unfortunately I think he will be missing until the next international break."It is the first time Howe has spoken to the media since the signing of Wissa and he offered: "He is an established Premier League goalscorer which is very difficult to recruit. He has very good qualities and has had an outstanding few years in the league. He has been a difficult player for us to handle when we have come against him and I really admire the journey he has been on here."When asked if fellow summer signing Nick Woltemade will play on Saturday: "There isn't a set formula for bedding in new players, it all depends on their needs, fitness and form. I have no hesitation playing any of the new players currently."On the prospect of Woltemade and Wissa playing together: "It depends on the team's needs and whether it is the right thing tactically. I would never rule out the possibility of playing two centre-forwards together and they have the qualities to play together - but we have a way of playing and I wouldn't want to deviate too far from that."He spoke about the club's position with Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) following the sale of Alexander Isak: "It has been well documented that we have sold players when we didn't want to. We hope to be in a position where we don't have to make those type of decisions again."With some transfer windows still open, he was asked if there could be any more outgoings in the coming weeks: "I don't know what is going to happen, but I imagine time is running out with some transfer windows. I hope to keep the squad together now."Follow all of Friday's Premier League news conferences and the rest of the day's football newsListen to full match commentary of the match on BBC Radio 5 LiveHere more from Howe on BBC SoundsShareNewcastle's shift in transfer policypublished at 08:20 BST 12 September08:20 BST 12 SeptemberCiaran KellyFootball reporterNewcastle certainly did their homework on Yoane Wissa.Head coach Eddie Howe targeted players who were "desperate" to join the club, particularly after strikers Hugo Ekitike, Benjamin Sesko and Joao Pedro opted to move elsewhere, and the DR Congo international fitted the bill.Newcastle, tellingly, returned to the table with a third and final bid on deadline day rather than moving on to an alternative.It signified a rare shift in transfer policy. In fact, Newcastle had not signed an outfield player over the age of 25 since Howe's first summer in charge in 2022.Yet the 29-year-old appears to be a relative late bloomer rather than someone entering the twilight of his career.Wissa's year-on-year development has been such he went on to score more non-penalty goals (19) than any other player in the Premier League last season.His record in front of goal, his ability to plug in and his work off the ball made him an attractive proposition for Newcastle, who only had one player hit double figures last season.That man was Alexander Isak.It will now fall to Wissa, the club's number nine, and record signing Nick Woltemade to help fill the void left by the Swede.French defender Julien Laporte suggested there is more to come from his former Lorient team-mate."I'm proud to have played with someone like Yoane because he's had a great career. In my opinion, it's not finished," he said.Read more on Wissa Share22:31 BST 11 SeptemberThe acid attack that drove Newcastle's Wissa to succeed, published at 22:31 BST 11 SeptemberThe acid attack that drove Newcastle's Wissa to succeedAttributionNewcastleNUST 'welcome' club's ticket actionpublished at 17:52 BST 11 September17:52 BST 11 SeptemberCiaran KellyNewcastle United reporterImage source, Getty ImagesThe Newcastle United Supporters' Trust (NUST) have welcomed the club taking "visible action to deter and penalise those who may be profiteering from other fans".It follows Newcastle cancelling tickets purchased by a school nearly 200 miles away for the Champions League home game against Barcelona.Forty-five tickets for the match at St James' Park on 18 September were bought by the High School of Dundee - days after 110,000 fans had been in an online queue for the remaining seats.A spokesman for the school confirmed that they were "informed by the approved provider that the tickets have been cancelled" after purchasing them in good faith.But it is understood that the tickets came from unauthorised reselling by fans who have now had their season tickets cancelled.Read more on the ticket storyNewcastle do not have an authorised reseller and the only way to sell season tickets is through the club's official platform at face value.The NUST "welcomed" the club "taking visible action to deter and penalise those who may be profiteering from other fans or, in this baffling case, a number of school pupils from Dundee".NUST added: "Along with the rise in ticket prices, according to our annual survey, one of the biggest concerns for Newcastle fans is reduced ticket availability due not only to high demand but the selling of tickets through third party sites or other unauthorised means."The situation this week has highlighted those frustrations once again. Ticketing can be a divisive subject but we feel united in the stance that tickets belong in the hands of genuine Newcastle United supporters and thank the club for their approach to those who misuse the system. We will continue to request transparency across all ticketing procedures."ShareWoltemade or Wissa: Who should start v Wolves?published at 16:33 BST 11 September16:33 BST 11 SeptemberImage source, Getty ImagesFormer Newcastle defender John Anderson believes Eddie Howe's choice between Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa will be easy on Saturday.Speaking on BBC Radio Newcastle, the former Newcastle defender said he doesn't "understand why you wouldn't play Wissa". Anderson said: "You know he's played at that level and that he's comfortable and that he can score goals. He's proved that with his time at Brentford."Woltemade will be given time I think. I think his first start will come against Bradford in the League Cup."Access BBC Radio Newcastle's clips on the MagpiesShare14:24 BST 11 SeptemberNewcastle cancel school's tickets for Barca game, published at 14:24 BST 11 SeptemberNewcastle cancel school's tickets for Barca gameAttributionNewcastleNewcastle's full-back question is 'nice problem' to havepublished at 08:52 BST 11 September08:52 BST 11 SeptemberImage source, Getty ImagesFormer Newcastle defender John Anderson says the return to fitness of Lewis Hall gives Eddie Howe options at the back: "[Tino] Livramento has been great at left-back and was for England on Tuesday as well. Hall had another full week's training with the England boys and has been getting the yards in." So there could be a possibility of Hall coming in at left-back and Livramento switching to right-back."It's a nice problem for him [Howe] to have, because Trippier started the season at right-back because of Hall's [injury] situation. I think he might stick with Trippier and keep Livramento at left-back, to give Hall a little bit more time."It's a defence that's kept two clean sheets in the three league games so far so why would he look at changing it? But, somewhere along the line you've got to get Hall back in the side."He was excellent before he unfortunately picked up that injury towards the back of the season."Listen to the full clip on BBC Radio NewcastleShare08:19 BST 11 SeptemberBack Wirtz to deliver at Burnley - our FPL team of the week, published at 08:19 BST 11 SeptemberBack Wirtz to deliver at Burnley - our FPL team of the weekAttributionPremier League20:17 BST 10 SeptemberNewcastle v Barcelona tickets bought by Dundee school, published at 20:17 BST 10 SeptemberNewcastle v Barcelona tickets bought by Dundee schoolAttributionNewcastleWoltemade and Wissa give Newcastle welcome dilemmapublished at 17:02 BST 10 September17:02 BST 10 SeptemberCiaran KellyNewcastle United reporterImage source, Getty ImagesIt feels like the season really starts now for Newcastle United.The Alexander Isak saga had cast a shadow as Newcastle attempted to navigate the opening weeks of the campaign without an experienced striker.And the need for firepower was clear.Newcastle had 34 shots against Aston Villa, Liverpool and Leeds United, but only mustered a couple of goals.Football is rarely so simple but, with a goalscorer in the side, it is not hard to imagine Newcastle would have had more than two points to show for their efforts.Newcastle now have options at least, even if Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa have not had much time to catch their breaths since completing their moves to St James' Park.So who could start against Wolves at the weekend?Well, Woltemade trained for the first time at Newcastle's training ground on Tuesday after representing Germany on international duty.The record signing will therefore have had a little more time with his new team-mates than Wissa, who is embarking on a long journey back to the UK after scoring a couple of goals for DR Congo.But it is also worth noting that Wissa has vast Premier League experience whereas Woltemade has never played outside of his homeland before.Choosing who will lead the line on Saturday is a welcome dilemma of sorts for Howe as Newcastle seek their first win of the season.Shareprevious pagePage 1 of 42123456…42next page
