Manchester United legend and football pundit Roy Keane has heaped praise on Newcastle United’s summer signing, Nick Woltemade, following the young striker’s impressive performances in recent weeks. The 22-year-old German forward, who joined the Magpies during the summer transfer window, has quickly adapted to life in the Premier League and is already turning heads with his intelligence, work rate, and technical ability.
Keane, known for his tough standards and brutally honest opinions, was full of admiration for Woltemade’s impact, describing him as “a proper modern-day striker with old-school discipline.” Speaking on Sky Sports after Newcastle’s recent victory, Keane noted how the German’s movement and pressing ability reminded him of elite European forwards. “Woltemade doesn’t just wait for chances; he creates them,” Keane said. “He tracks back, links play, and makes life miserable for defenders. You can see the hunger and maturity in his game despite his age.”
Since arriving from Werder Bremen, Woltemade has offered Newcastle something different in attack.

His partnership with Alexander Isak has particularly impressed fans, as the duo’s combination play and understanding have added a new dimension to the Magpies’ attacking style.
Keane further highlighted Woltemade’s attitude and professionalism, praising the way he has settled into the physical demands of English football. “What stands out for me is his mentality,” Keane added. “He doesn’t get carried away, he listens, he learns, and he works hard for the team.

With Woltemade’s confidence growing and his influence on the team increasing, many Newcastle supporters are beginning to believe that the young German could be one of the bargains of the season. If his current form continues, Roy Keane’s praise may soon be echoed by pundits across Europe as Woltemade cements himself as one of the Premier League’s risi
