Juventus wrapped up the final day of the transfer window by bringing in Nick Woltemade, the 1.98m German striker, on loan from Newcastle for just €2.8 million. Manager Luciano Spalletti wanted nothing more than a physically imposing centre-forward, yet the 23-year-old pushes back against the stereotype: "You expect me to just play physically, but I think my best quality is my technique and my understanding of the game." Towering height and refined footballing intelligence rarely sit in the same player. It is a genuine paradox. He takes his cues from Zlatan Ibrahimović and Kai Havertz in search of tactical variety. The Turin chapter begins, and this thinking giant may soon be setting the terms in Italian football.
