Lanky somewhat slow and lightweight technical striker from stuttgart moving to the PL after decent breakout season. And we know how that one turned out. Afaik the first guy has been riding benches at wolves and Frankfurt for years now The latter joined Wolves & suffered a serious injury shortly after. He's had two ligament tears, which resulted in him missing 95 games. I'd say his dip or whatever you wanna call it doesn't have anything to do with talent or lackof.

Pizy 19,252 Posted June 13, 2025 Share Posted June 13, 2025 Just watched a YouTube comp of Woltemade. I actually came away more impressed with his game than Ekitike. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ They’re both tall and lanky as hell but Woltemade looks much more robust and can hold up the ball excellently. Thing is, from his POV it doesn’t seem very wise to agree to come here when we have Jackson & Delap. At his age it would be a huge risk to go from playing every week to getting the odd chance in the League Cup or as a sub here. I’d take him, though, since it’s clear we aren’t going for a Gyokeres or Osimhen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ekitike is far far better than Woltemade tbh, like his ceiling is way higher. Much better technical base, much better locomotion, one of those wing forward like strikers, a lot like Isak. Woltemade reminds me of a slightly more technical Weghorst/Fullkrug. I don't think he scales up too well in the PL personally.

I think he's probably a year or two away from blowing up. He does look decent tbf. Moves like Dembele a little bit. He will probably be one like Doue and Barcola… who ends up going elsewhere and we curse at the World for missing out on him. The money they have quoted him at is too high though.

Woltemade reminds me of a slightly more technical Weghorst/Fullkrug. I don't think he scales up too well in the PL personally. Ekitike looks like he has the higher ceiling for sure from a raw, natural talent POV. But I just wonder how he’d hold up to the rigors of the PL. A lot of the negatives I’ve read about Ekitike when this monster price is being discussed is that he is physically weak and gets bullied in Germany. If that’s the case, how’s he going to hold up against teams who love to get physical and thuggish like Burnley or Everton? Whereas Woltemade looks technically good for a huge guy whilst also having the strength and muscle to bully people himself. He looks less risky than Ekitike to my eye because he’d cost a fraction. When you’re spending €100m on a player you need a virtual guarantee that he’s a superstar. I don’t personally see that with Ekitike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I get the feeling Spurs/Arsenal may get him before us. Edited June 14, 2025 by Reddish-Blue more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
