‘Standout performer’ Nick Woltemade adds to his stunning Juventus run

Nick Woltemade continued his excellent Juventus form on Sunday night.

The Newcastle United loan star was a key player on Thursday in the Europa League when he got an assist for the winning goal away at AZ Alkmaar.

Nick Woltemade really finding his feet now after he only made one start for Juventus in the opening six weeks of his loan season after moving to Turin at the start of January.

Last night was only Big Nick’s third Serie A start and this trio of league matches all coming in the last fortnight.

Juventus trailed away at Fiorentina on Sunday night but 32 minutes on the clock Kolo Muani set up Nick Woltemade to equalise. Clever positioning getting the German international a bit of space away from his marker and a great right foot finish gave the keeper no chance.

Nick Woltemade was surprisingly subbed off as part of a double change on 57 minutes, probably due to how much football he has played in a short space of time after initially on the sidelines, Juventus went on to draw 2-2 last night against Fiorentina.

In the player ratings by Goal, Nick Woltemade was one of only two Juventus players to get an 8 out 10: ‘The standout performer in the final third, Woltemade scored the first equaliser in the 32nd minute. His link-up play was excellent before he was surprisingly withdrawn in the 57th minute as part of a double change.’

Despite only starting one competitive match at Juventus in his first six weeks at the club, Big Nick was bizarrely made the scapegoat for the poor start to the Juventus league season as they won only three of seven Serie A matches, none of which the Newcastle United loan star started…

Moving on, Juventus have now played 15 matches in all competitions.

The most recent of those games was last night.

Nick Woltemade has now started seven games in all competitions for Juventus and has six direct goal contributions, scoring four and getting two assists.

The overall Juventus results this season make stunning reading where Nick Woltemade is concerned, it is almost as though there is a pattern forming, Juventus unbeaten in the seven matches Big Nick has started and winning five of those seven.

It is also worth noting that the Newcastle United striker makes Juventus a far bigger threat in attack when playing, especially the way he links up play and creates chances and space for others.

Juventus have scored 17 goals in the seven matches Nick Woltemade has started (at least two goals in each of the seven), whilst in the eight games the NUFC player hasn’t been in the starting eleven they have only scored nine goals.

The real story of Nick Woltemade at Juventus is a little different to how the Italian and UK media have reported it. The Newcastle United loan star was recently voted October 2026 player of the month for Juventus.

Hopefully we will now see Nick Woltemade be a regular for Juventus in both Europe and Serie A. A successful loan season to help progress a striker who had made a very limited number of starts at top league level in Germany before joining Newcastle United. United would then have the choice of looking to get Big Nick back into the Newcastle United team, or alternatively getting a very healthy transfer fee to help finance other recruitment.
