Despite Woltemade’s arrival being confirmed on Saturday morning, he wasn’t be able to make his debut at Elland Road on Saturday as the transfer wasn’t completed until after the Premier League’s midday registration cut-off on Friday.
His appearance shows Woltemade will no doubt be excited to get to work for his new club.
Speaking soon after his move was confirmed on Saturday morning, 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.
Newcastle’s head coach, Eddie Howe, added: “We’re delighted to get Nick’s signing over the line so quickly. He fits the profile for exactly what we have been looking to add to our attacking options.
“He’s strong in a lot of areas – he has great technical ability and has proven himself to be a real threat in one of Europe’s top leagues – but he’s also still at an age where he has plenty of room to develop and grow here.
“Nick is a great character, as well, and we’re really pleased to welcome him to the group.”
