Sept 1 (Reuters) - Juventus ⁠have signed German forward Nick Woltemade ⁠on loan from Premier League club ‌Newcastle United until June 2027, the Serie A side announced on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old signed for Newcastle ​last year in a club-record ⁠deal reported by ⁠British media to be worth around £69 million, ⁠but ‌he scored only eight Premier League goals in 34 appearances for ⁠the club and one in 10 ​Champions League ‌games.

Woltemade developed through the youth ranks ⁠at Werder ​Bremen, making his senior debut in 2020, before completing a loan spell at SV ⁠Elversberg. He earned a move ​to Stuttgart in 2024, scoring 18 goals in 36 appearances and winning the German ⁠Cup.

That breakout season prompted a transfer to Newcastle last season, where he made 53 appearances across all competitions, scoring 11 ​goals and contributing six ⁠assists.

Earlier on Tuesday, Juventus also announced the ​season-long loan arrival of ‌Senegal midfielder Pape Matar ​Sarr from Tottenham Hotspur.
