Nick Woltemade - Stuttgart striker

Not for me.

1 in 5 return rate in the Bundesliga and not that mobile? so if we are goi g to try and hit teams on the break he?s not keeping up with either Elanga or Gordon.

12 goals in 28 Bundesliga games last season (for a mediocre team). So a little less than a goal per game. I?d say he hasn?t set the league on fire, but those are decent stats and Bayern have been keen all summer window long 🙂

He wouldn't neccesarily need to keep up. He'd be the target to draw in the defenders and release Elanga and Gordon with flick-ons, like Bellerz and Shearer when Wor Al's legs went.

He's 23 yrs old and have a lot of potential to develop.

He's got good feet. Can beat a man, not with pace but with a bit of skill. He also provides assists.

The hype around Samu is interesting. He's got blistering pace but he's not good with the ball at his feet. So he won't be involved in link up and isn't a ball carrier. Should signing Samu happen the team style will have to change.

From what I read he has exceptional skills for his size and is ranked 104th quickest player in the Bundesliga with a top speed of 34kmph. For contxt Wirtz is 56th and Ekitike was 30th.

Check out all his goals and assists.

It's only a highlight reel so not a perfect representation of his current level only the good bits but still give you an idea of what he offers.

Good feet for a big lad!

So first of ff I?m never a big fan of reels of goals, but as you say gives a highlight of his best bits.

Agree he has good feet, and one thing that stands out most for me is he does look like he knows where the goal is, and it?s so important that a striker is a natural finisher.

I guess he would be an option to mix things up, both physically from him personally, and the team overall.

Another thing in his favour would be he?s also German, so would potentially be someone who could help Thiaw, and himself, settle into a new country and culture.

Fair enough, he?s an option for a number of reasons, but looking at different reports looks like Stuttgart are asking anywhere between 60-100m euro for the lad, so would depend what the number ends up being and what kind of sell on clause Stuttgart are asking for.

He's not rapid. That's clear but the way he plays could mean the adapt the style.

BREAKING | FC Bayern today submitted a new offer for Nick #Woltemade, proposing 60m euro plus bonus payments and a sell-on clause.

VfB Stuttgart rejected it, even though the player?s camp believed the package would be sufficient. Stuttgart demanded 75m euro from Bayern today. something Bayern will not do.

Looks like he's available for 64.5m quid. That's 5m less than we offered for Ekitike & 10+5m for Sesko .

He's a solid option to alternate with Wissa whilst we park Isak on the bench, until he realises he's not as big a deal as he thinks he is.

Then we have 3 very different and interesting striking options.
