Woltemade signs! - Announcement video, full details and first words from 6ft 6" striker

After a summer full of striker setbacks, Newcastle United have finally made the big breakthrough we've all been hoping for.

While our previous club-record signing sulks, a new club-record arrival has signed at St James' Park, with Nick Woltemade officially unveiled as Newcastle's latest summer signing.

The 23-year-old striker and new No. 27 completes a move from Bundesliga side Stuttgart and signs a long-term contract with the club, with the transfer fee thought to be £65m rising to £69m after add-ons, eclipsing the £63m paid for Alexander Isak three years ago.

Here is the announcement video, followed by what the big man has had to say since putting pen to paper on Tyneside following a whirlwind few days:

Reacting to the move, 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."

A brilliant coup for Newcastle, one of the hottest prospects in Germany and a unique talent with all the tools to become a massive hit under Eddie Howe.

Welcome to Newcastle, Nick!
