Wissa can get the best out of Woltemade
NEWCASTLE boss Eddie Howe is hoping Yoane Wissa can bring the best out of Nick Woltemade with his new-look £124million strike-force now fit and available.
Record £69million signing Woltemade has had to lead the line this season after fellow summer signing Wissa picked up a knee injury on international duty before he had kicked a ball for the club, but the £55million capture started and scored for the first time in Wednesday night’s Carabao Cup quarterfinal win over Fulham.
Head coach Howe, who has a defensive injury crisis ahead of this lunchtime’s Premier League game with Chelsea, has not ruled out playing the two together but accepts Wissa's style of play is more closely aligned to that of the departed Alexander Isak than the Germany international who replaced him.
