Arsenal are one of several top European clubs showing interest in VfB Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade, whose performances in the Bundesliga have drawn widespread attention.
The 23-year-old forward is being monitored by multiple sides across Europe, including Premier League giants Arsenal and Liverpool. From Serie A, both Napoli and AS Roma have expressed interest, while Bayern Munich are also reportedly in the mix.
Direct negotiations have begun between Stuttgart and several clubs regarding the German striker’s potential transfer, with growing anticipation that a deal could be struck this summer.
Stuttgart set valuation as interest intensifies
According to Just Arsenal Sources, Stuttgart are open to entering talks for offers in the region of €45 to €50 million. Although the club’s priority remains to retain Woltemade for the upcoming season, the increasing level of interest could ultimately shift their stance.
Atlético Madrid are believed to be particularly keen on the striker, but any formal move from the Spanish side may depend on the sale of Ángel Correa. Meanwhile, clubs such as Brighton, Everton, and West Ham are also tracking Woltemade’s progress and may consider a move should his availability be confirmed.
Arsenal’s involvement in the race is notable, particularly given their well-documented search for additional attacking firepower this summer. While the club continues to explore high-profile options such as Benjamin Šeško and Viktor Gyökeres, the emergence of Woltemade as a target highlights a willingness to explore other profiles that offer promise and value.
Roma watching developments as striker market takes shape
AS Roma are another club following the situation closely. With several Serie A sides expected to be active in the striker market, Woltemade’s availability presents a very interesting opportunity.
The Stuttgart man’s blend of physicality and technical skill has made him a standout figure in Germany, and his profile continues to rise.
As the transfer window progresses, it remains to be seen whether Arsenal will step up their interest or shift focus to more advanced negotiations elsewhere.
Do you think Woltemade would be a good option for the Gunners?

Never heard of him before, but he looks interesting tbh. Appears to be quite similar to sesko in stature and what he could bring, but I find his touch and close control to be more convincing.
If you are looking for a relatively low profile striker for Arsenal, apart for the usual suspects,i would suggest Evann Guessand of Nice.In many aspects of all round play he is superior to many of those touted to move to Arsenal.
Looks a very nice player who can do a bit of everything. Is he a centre forward? Looks like he could play across the frontline? I would like it if we’d make more signings like this – take a chance on someone lesser known for a bit less money. We’ve done that a bit with defenders, but not really on attackers, aside from Vieira?
Sky report that Wolves are keen to buy Guessand for around 25m.That would be a steal given the ludicrous prices being mooted for certain strikers who are not superior to Guessand.
Woltemade would be a perfect option for the Gunners as an alternative to Sesko with a crazy price tag. Wotermade is a physically and technically strong player who, with 23 years, has great development potential. He has done very well in the Bundesliga. The price of Woltermate allows Arsenal to buy high-quality players in other areas of the attack.
