Newcastle may have just found the perfect striker to rival Nick Woltemade

Newcastle's Striker Option

Newcastle United have scouted Igor Thiago as a possible striker option to rival new signing Nick Woltemade.

After selling Alexander Isak to Liverpool, concerns arose about Newcastle's firepower. However, Nick Woltemade has quickly solved this problem since joining the team.

Newcastle signed Woltemade from Stuttgart for around £69million, and the 23-year-old has already made an impact, scoring in his third goal in four top-flight matches.

Woltemade matched Alan Shearer's record after scoring in Newcastle's 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest, earning admiration from supporters who are confident he can lead the team to success.

Despite Woltemade's success, the team is still considering adding another striker to the mix, with Igor Thiago being a potential option.
