Newcastle United new boy Nick Woltemade was in the Elland Road stands for the 0-0 draw with Leeds United.
I mean, on that evidence, he won’t have been too impressed. Although, he will know that he’s definitely one of the missing pieces in the jigsaw at United, with Eddie Howe having to turn to all of Jacob Murphy, Anthony Elanga and Harvey Barnes to perform forward roles alongside Will Osula, who has definitely been thrown in at the deep end in the absence of sulky Swede Alexander Isak.

‘Long term’ deal for NUFC new boy Woltemade - club statement
Newcastle United have completed a club-record deal to sign forward Nick Woltemade from Bundesliga side VfB Stuttgart.
The 23-year-old Germany international becomes the Magpies’ fifth first team addition of the summer after penning a long-term deal at St. James’ Park.
Nick began his career with Werder Bremen, where he progressed through the youth system to become their youngest ever Bundesliga player as a 17-year-old in 2020.
He made the switch to Stuttgart last summer and quickly established himself as one of the most exciting attackers in the German top-flight.
He ended last season with 17 goals to his name from 33 appearances in all competitions and continued his form at the recent Under-21s European Championships, where he collected the top goalscorer award.
The 6ft 6in striker, who has two international caps at senior level, will link up with the Germany squad next week for their World Cup qualifiers against Slovakia and Northern Ireland.
Nick will wear the number 27 shirt for Newcastle United.
Nick said: “I’m really happy to be at this amazing club. From the first contact, I felt like the club really wanted me and had big plans for me.
“It’s a big step in my life to leave Germany but everybody has welcomed me so well and it already feels like family. I have a really good feeling from speaking to the head coach that this is the right place for me to find my best level.
“I know the stadium from watching games on television - it looks amazing and I know the atmosphere is crazy. I’m really excited to play and start scoring goals here.”
Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe added: “We’re delighted to get Nick’s signing overthe line so quickly. He fits the profile for exactly what we have been looking to add to our attacking options.
“He’s strong in a lot of areas - he has great technical ability and has proven himself to be a real threat in one of Europe’s top leagues - but he’s also still at an age where he has plenty of room to develop and grow here.
“Nick is a great character too and we’re really pleased to welcome him to the group.”
