Bayern Munich chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has branded Newcastle as ‘idiots’ for stumping up such a sizeable fee for German striker Nick Woltemade, despite his bright start to life in the Premier League.
Woltemade was brought in from Stuttgart in the final days of the summer transfer window for a club-record fee of £69m, acting as the replacement for Alexander Isak who would get his £125m move to Liverpool on deadline day.
