Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe admits he wants one more addition after Nick Woltemade's arrival on Saturday.

While they have welcomed the Germany striker over the past 48 hours, Newcastle are going for a second centre-forward in Wolves ace Jorge Strand Larsen.

After last night's 0-0 draw at Leeds United, Howe said: "I’d love to do one more player.

"Just to get the full strength that I think we need. I don’t know what that player looks like, you’re not going to get a position out of me, but I’d love to have one more just to give us the strength in depth I think we need."

Speaking about Woltemade's short-term future, Howe said: "He'll need a period where he adapts and he understands what we ask of him and the test the Premier League will bring him but I think he will score goals and he'll hopefully be a fantastic addition for us.

"He has unique qualities and a game that can really help us and very technically gifted, creative and he is a big presence in the box. Excited for what he can do for us."
