Newcastle United will look to sell Nick Woltemade this summer amid interest from Bayern Munich, sources have told Football Insider.
The German giants have set their sights on the striker, 23, as a player who could come in and improve their attack, but they would only be willing to do a deal at a cut-price fee. Sources say the Bayern valuation of Woltemade is around £30-40million, which is some way less than the £69m Newcastle paid last summer.
Gabby Agbonlahor tore into Woltemade for his performance in Newcastle’s recent Carabao Cup defeat to Manchester City, and criticism has become more common towards the striker in recent weeks. The former Stuttgart man initially made an electric start to his time on Tyneside, as he scored five goals in his first six games for his new club at the start of the season.
However, that has become a distant memory for the frontman, whose double in the draw with Chelsea on 20 December are his only league goals since November. Woltemade is now goalless in his last 13 games in all competitions, and many of those appearances have come from the bench, with Yoane Wissa now fit to cause a headache for Howe at the top of the pitch.
