Nick Woltemade’s name is coming up more and more as we head into the final few weeks of this summer’s transfer window, but who is the highly-rated young Stuttgart centre-forward?
A tall and gangly striker with plenty of quality, Woltemade looks like he has it in him to have a fine career, and this summer could be an important one for him as he’s attracting plenty of interest.
Read on to find out more about Woltemade’s career so far, his strengths and weaknesses, and what the future could hold for him..
Who is Nick Woltemade? Background and early career
Woltemade was born in Bremen and ended up spending much of his youth career with hometown club Werder Bremen after a brief spell with TS Woltmershausen.
After ten years in Werder Bremen’s academy and scoring at a prolific rate at youth level, he made his senior debut for the club on the 1st of February 2020 in a defeat to Augsburg.
However, despite becoming Werder’s youngest ever player to play in the Bundesliga17 years, 11 months, and 16 days, he struggled to make an impact for the first-team.
Woltemade later had a strong loan spell in the German third division, scoring 17 goals in 35 games as he spent the 2022/23 campaign with SV Elversberg.

Career stats and achievements
It’s only really since his move to Stuttgart last summer that his top-level career took off, with Woltemade scoring 12 goals in 28 Bundesliga appearances, and finishing the campaign with a total of 21 goal contributions for club and country.
Woltemade has won two caps for the German national team, but really caught the eye with their Under-21s at this summer’s European Championships, finishing as the tournament’s top scorer with six goals, though he only picked up a runners-up medal.
He did taste victory, however, with Stuttgart last season as they won the DFB Pokal, with the 23-year-old scoring in the 4-2 final victory over Arminia Bielefeld.
