"It has been a frustrating summer for Eddie Howe and Newcastle but there may be a chink of light as they approach Monday's transfer deadline. Having been rejected by the likes of Joao Pedro, Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and James Trafford - as well as having to deal with wantaway striker Alexander Isak - the club are poised to finally land a major target with Stuttgart's Nick Woltemade set to join in a deal that could rise to £65million."
"Positive signs. Things are moving and developing in a good way at the moment. Until things are done, I can't confirm anything. The most important thing is to bring a centre forward in which we have been working on all summer, and we're getting closer. It's been relentless, it's a demanding window in lots of different ways. The work that's gone in, it's been detailed, it has to be, we have to bring the right players to the football club."
Newcastle have endured a difficult transfer window but appear close to signing 23-year-old Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart in a deal that could reach £65 million. The club missed out on targets including Joao Pedro, Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and James Trafford while managing Alexander Isak's desire to leave for Liverpool. Woltemade has 14 goals in 76 Bundesliga appearances and measures 6ft 6in, matching the physical profile desired. Transfer negotiations are showing positive signs, with a centre-forward signing identified as a summer-long priority and extensive detailed work undertaken.
