EDDIE Howe has insisted £69million man Nick Woltemade can handle the heat playing as a No 9 for Newcastle United - and will throw the German star in to lead the line against Arsenal tomorrow despite teething problems.

- By LEE RYDER

Howe's frontline has undergone major surgery since last season, with Alexander Isak sold to Liverpool for £130m and Callum Wilson snubbing a pay as you play deal on Tyneside to sign for West Ham.

The German international, signed from Stuttgart, got off to a flying start when heading home against Wolves two weeks ago but struggled to develop much telepathy in the drab 0-0 draw at Bournemouth and ended the game pointing to his feet for more service on the south coast, before being hooked.
