Newcastle United’s Nick Woltemade has joined Jurgen Klinsmann and Ilkay Gundogan in elite Premier League company after scoring against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Making his debut for the Magpies following his move from VfB Stuttgart, the 23-year-old netted Newcastle’s only goal in the 29th minute, set up by Jacob Murphy.

With that strike, he becomes just the third German to score on his Premier League debut. Klinsmann achieved the feat in August 1994, while Gundogan followed in September 2016.

Woltemade will be hoping to replicate that feat when Newcastle face Spanish side Barcelona in the Champions League on Tuesday.
