Arsenal and Liverpool are reportedly among five Premier League clubs showing interest in Stuttgart forward Nick Woltemade ahead of the summer transfer window, according to CaughtOffside.
The 23-year-old striker enjoyed a standout season in the Bundesliga, netting 17 goals and providing two assists, and is now attracting attention from a host of top clubs across Europe. Standing at 6ft 5in, Woltemade offers a physical presence and goal-scoring prowess that has made him a target for clubs seeking attacking reinforcements.

Arsenal, who are expected to have a significant summer under new sporting director Andrea Berta, have yet to make their first signing of the window despite links to multiple players. While there has been strong interest in RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko with reports claiming the Gunners are the only club to have made concrete contact so far, Woltemade is now emerging as a potential alternative.

Liverpool, West Ham, Brighton, and Everton are also reportedly monitoring the situation, with interest from abroad coming from Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Napoli, and Roma.
Despite the competition, it remains unclear whether Woltemade will become a top priority for Arsenal or Liverpool, who have also been heavily linked with other high-profile attacking targets. However, the report notes that there is “genuine interest” in the Stuttgart star, who could serve as a backup option if moves for primary targets fall through.
With the transfer market proving to be a tough landscape for clubs in search of elite strikers, Woltemade’s name may continue to rise as clubs weigh their options.
