Napoli consider loan move for Newcastle striker Nick Woltemade

Napoli consider loan move for Newcastle striker Nick Woltemade Napoli are considering a loan move for Newcastle United striker Nick Woltemade, according to transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano . Woltemade endured a difficult debut season, although he impressed early on. He scored 12 goals and provided five assists in 54 appearances across all competitions. He faces increased competition for minutes from William Osula and Yoane Wissa. The duo appear to be ahead of him in the pecking order, having started Newcastle’s Premier League opening-day draw against Liverpool. Napoli have now asked about Woltemade’s availability. The Italian club are looking to strengthen their attack following the departure of Romelu Lukaku to Fenerbahce. The Italian side are also interested in Chelsea’s Marc Guiu. It is understood that they have a better chance of signing Guiu than Woltemade. Newcastle could sanction Woltemade’s departure, with the club showing interest in Lille forward Mathias Fernandez-Pardo. They have already made a formal offer for the Belgian forward. Allowing the German to leave on loan would give him the chance to play regularly while creating room for the Magpies to sign another attacker. The former Stuttgart star needs more game time to maximise his potential and keep his place in Germany’s squad, particularly following Jurgen Klopp’s arrival as coach . A move to Serie A could benefit Woltemade, given that games are often played at a slower tempo than in the Premier League. That said, the Germany international could find a more suitable destination before the end of the transfer window, particularly if another club can offer him a clearer path to regular football.
