In an interview, Woltemade expressed the view that since transferring to Newcastle United and joining the Premier League, he has become a better footballer.
Woltemade remarked: "Since moving from Stuttgart to England, my physical condition has markedly improved. I can complete more sprints and my defensive work rate has become more efficient, as the demands here are exceptionally high. This has benefited my game – and elevated me as a player."
"The intensity and physicality of Premier League matches stand out as the biggest difference compared to the Bundesliga. I felt this right from the opening few games and had to adjust to the pace initially. At first, I felt like I was on the verge of cramping up, but that has improved considerably now."
