Newcastle's Striker Conundrum
Newcastle United have identified Igor Thiago as a potential striker to rival new signing Nick Woltemade.
After selling Alexander Isak to Liverpool, concerns arose about Newcastle's attacking prowess. However, Nick Woltemade has quickly alleviated these concerns.
Newcastle signed Woltemade from Stuttgart for approximately £69million, and the 23-year-old has made an immediate impact, scoring in his third goal in four top-flight matches.
Woltemade's impressive start has drawn comparisons to Alan Shearer, with the striker matching his record after scoring in Newcastle's 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest.
