Juventus sign Woltemade, Sarr on loan from Premier League

Juventus have secured the loan services of Nick Woltemade and Pape Matar Sarr from Premier League outfits Newcastle and Tottenham Hotspur, the Serie A giants announced om Tuesday.

German striker Woltemade joins the Old Lady on a one-year loan deal, while Senegalese midfielder Sarr's move can be made permanent.

Juve, once the dominant force in Italian football but now fallen on hard times, have made a solid start to the Serie A season with two wins from two so far but nonetheless moved on transfer deadline day to "reinforce (coach) Luciano Spalletti's attacking ranks", according to a statement on their website.

Woltemade was Newcastle's marquee signing last summer when he moved from Stuttgart to St James's Park for a fee of £69 million, but he struggled in his first season in England.

Despite a fine start in which he netted six times in his first 11 outings, the goals soon dried up for the 24-year-old.

In 53 appearances for the Magpies, he scored 11 times and laid on six assists.

Woltemade was included in Germany's World Cup squad but his only action was a cameo in their shock round-of-32 exit to Paraguay.

Sarr, 23, arrives on a one-year deal with an "obligation for Juventus to acquire the player's registration rights" for a fee of €27.5 million, should Sarr fulfil certain conditions during his loan period.

A Europa League winner in 2025, Sarr made 141 appearances in all competitions for Spurs, scoring 11 goals and providing the same number of assists.

He joins ex-Spurs teammate and goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, who made the move from north London to Turin earlier in the close-season as Juventus seek to improve on their sixth-place league finish last term.
