Woltemade can be Newcastle's own version of

NEWCASTLE United's £69m man Nick Woltemade is the key to unlocking a lethal attacking lineup - just like Roberto Firmino did for Jurgen Klopp’s title-winning Liverpool side.

- 

That's the verdict of former Reds midfielder Don Hutchison, who has been impressed with the German's contribution in his first months on Tyneside.

Woltemade has four goals for Newcastle already, having scored in his first three Premier League home games, and notched his first for the national side in Germany's 1-0 win over Northern Ireland on Monday.

He has adapted to the English game very quickly, and while he's a very different player to the striker he replaced in the United lineup, Alexander Isak, Hutchison feels his linkup play will mean more goals for the likes of Anthony Gordon and Anthony Elanga, once they strike up a proper understanding.
