Newcastle may have just found the perfect striker to rival Nick Woltemade

Newcastle's Striker Conundrum

Newcastle United have been scouting 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 firepower. However, Nick Woltemade has quickly alleviated these concerns.

Woltemade, signed for £69million from Stuttgart, has made a strong start in the Premier League, scoring in Newcastle's 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest.

He matched Alan Shearer's record, scoring his third goal in four top-flight matches, and supporters are confident he can lead the team to success.

Woltemade has already hit the ground running, and fans are growing to adore the big striker.

Newcastle may consider adding another striker to the mix, but for now, Woltemade is making a strong case for himself.
