Nick Woltemade, Newcastle United's £69m signing from Stuttgart, has seen his goal-scoring form decline sharply since December, raising questions about his adaptation to the Premier League. Despite a clinical start with six goals in his first six efforts, the 23-year forward has struggled to replicate that intensity, averaging 1.9 shots per game this season. His physicality and aerial threat were evident in a 1-0 derby win over Sunderland, but recent performances against Wolves and Brentford highlight challenges in finding the net amid a congested schedule and tactical adjustments.
