Borussia Dortmund eye Nick Woltemade as potential Guirassy replacement

Borussia Dortmund are said to have identified Newcastle United forward Nick Woltemade as a possible replacement for Serhou Guirassy.

With recent reports suggesting that Serhou Guirassy is targeting a move away from Borussia Dortmund this summer, the Black and Yellows are on the lookout for potential replacements for the forward.

After TSG Hoffenheim’s Fisnik Asllani was initially mentioned as a target, Bild has now added Nick Woltemade to the list of potential options.

BVB are keeping a close eye on the German international, who moved to Newcastle United from VfB Stuttgart for a reported €75 million fee last summer.

The 24-year-old has so far insisted that he is not considering a move away from the Premier League side, but the situation could change in the summer depending on how the remainder of the season unfolds.

Woltemade has been in and out of Newcastle’s line-up recently and has often been deployed in a deeper role than he prefers.

A permanent transfer is considered highly unlikely, with a loan appearing to be the most realistic option.

This season, Woltemade has scored 10 goals and provided five assists in 45 appearances for Newcastle.
