Nick Woltemade shares inspiring social media post as he settles into life at Newcastle United

It’s been some introduction to life at Newcastle United for Nick Woltemade.

He swept in during the final days of the transfer window to, along with Yoane Wissa, replace Alexander Isak and since then, unlike Wissa, he’s been thrown in at the deep in the Premier League - and the Champions League.

Woltemade took just 30 minutes to open his account v Wolves on debut before having a cameo in the Champions League against Barcelona. He then led the line at Bournemouth, and while working hard, drew a blank having had little to no service.

Nick Woltemade shares inspirational social media post

And, while he settles to life on Tyneside, the young German frontman has shared an inspirational memo which keeps him going over on his Instagram, along with a selection of photos from the last month.

The post read: “Your normal day is someone else’s dream, so be thankful every day.”

It’s certainly a message we can all get on board with, even if we’re not multi-millionaire footballers.

Newcastle United striker Nick Woltemade on Liverpool

Woltemade ultimately arrived as Isak’s replacement but has already suggested he is keen to play at Anfield. Newcastle travel to Liverpool on January 27 aiming for revenge after bitterly losing 3-2 at St James’ Park last month.

When asked by Sky Sports about the top-flight ground he is looking forward to visiting, Woltemade said: “I would say Anfield. Jurgen Klopp was there for a long time, so in Germany, everybody likes Liverpool. I think it will be nice.”

Newcastle United journey starts now

Speaking after signing for Newcastle, the 23-year-old insisted he is “excited” to get going in the Premier League. Woltemade said: "I'm really happy to be at this amazing club. From the first contact, I felt like the club really wanted me and had big plans for me.

"It's a big step in my life to leave Germany but everybody has welcomed me so well and it already feels like family. I have a really good feeling from speaking to the head coach that this is the right place for me to find my best level.

"I know the stadium from watching games on television - it looks amazing and I know the atmosphere is crazy. I'm really excited to play and start scoring goals here."

Eddie Howe on Nick Woltemade

Eddie Howe has called the Newcastle transfer a “big opportunity” for Woltemade. He told reporters a fortnight ago: “(It’s a big) change for him, big opportunity for him. He's got a great nature, a great character.

“He's very calm and he's gone straight into our training and not looked out of place. He's shown his qualities. We're really pleased with how he's settled in."
