Newcastle United have made headlines in the window over the past couple of days and could be about to repeat that feat if they seal a deal to land their latest target, according to a report.
Newcastle United strike deal to sign Nick Woltemade
With speculation that Alexander Isak could be set for a move to Liverpool rife, Newcastle have sealed a deal to sign Stuttgart forward Nick Woltemade as Eddie Howe adopts a proactive attitude when it comes to replacing the Sweden international.
Despite being pressed on the matter, the former Bournemouth manager didn't give much away regarding when Magpies fans may be able to see the towering German striker in action after he was not registered in time to play against Leeds.

Continuing their striker pursuit, Newcastle are still in the running to land Brentford star Yoane Wissa before the deadline, albeit the Bees are intent on claiming £50 million for his services.
In one of the surprising developments of the last few days, Kobbie Mainoo is being courted by the Magpies and may be set for a late move deal elsewhere after falling out of favour under Ruben Amorim.
Talks are open regarding a swoop for the England international, though it remains to be seen if Howe and company will be allowed to proceed, given they are dealing with a direct Premier League rival.
Plates are spinning on Tyneside and more signings are expected to arrive before the close of play after Woltemade, and PIF could now be set to raid a global superpower for one of their most exciting stars.
Newcastle line up ambitious bid for Eduardo Camavinga
According to reports in Spain, Newcastle are prepared to offer an overall package of £42.3 million to land Real Madrid's Eduardo Camavinga to add a layer of stardust to their engine room.
However, Xabi Alonso wouldn't be willing to consider parting ways with the France international unless Los Blancos receive a fee exceeding £60 million, which would likely be a starting point in negotiations.

Labelled "world-class" by Thom Harris, Camavinga registered two goals and two assists in 35 appearances across all competitions last term, though he has yet to feature this time around due to an injury layoff.
Despite interest from Newcastle, the Cabinda-born man is viewed as a key member of Alonso's side and is viewed as someone who can share midfield duties with Aurelien Tchouameni, potentially harming the Magpies' chances of landing his signature.
Nevertheless, PIF continue to show ambition in the market and supporters will be watching with eagle eyes to see if their side can force through another statement move.
