Newcastle's Striker Conundrum
Newcastle United have identified Igor Thiago as a potential striker option to rival new signing Nick Woltemade.
Following the sale of Alexander Isak to Liverpool, concerns arose about Newcastle's attacking prowess. However, Nick Woltemade has quickly alleviated these concerns, scoring three goals in four top-flight matches, including a goal in the 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest.
Woltemade's impressive start has drawn comparisons to Alan Shearer, with the 23-year-old matching his record. As a result, fans are confident in Woltemade's ability to lead the team to success, but the club may still consider adding another striker to the mix.
Newcastle signed Woltemade for around £69million from Stuttgart
Newcastle United are exploring options to further bolster their attack, with Igor Thiago emerging as a possible target.
