Newcastle are closing in on a £15 million deal to sign the versatile striker
Newcastle United are keen to sign Sheffield United striker William Osula.
The Danish under-21 international is highly regarded across the country and has a bright future ahead of him. According to the Telegraph, Newcastle have already agreed a fee of around £10 million with the Blades. However, the total amount could rise to £15 million including bonuses.
The 20-year-old will join Newcastle this summer and it remains to be seen whether he can establish himself as a first-team player for Eddie next season. Osula will add quality and depth to Newcastle’s attacking team. He is versatile enough to work in a front three and will add goals and creative ability to the side.
Newcastle relied heavily on Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon last season. They needed to bring more quality and depth to the side. The 20-year-old forward should show long-term quality acquisitions. If he can hit the ground running in the Premier League and prove himself as a key player for the club, £15 million will look like money.
Newcastle rate William Osula highly
Apparently, Newcastle sporting director Paul Mitchell rates the player highly and believes Eddie Howe can turn the 20-year-old into a top Premier League player.
Meanwhile, the chance to join Newcastle would certainly be an exciting option for the player and he will be looking to showcase his skills in the English top flight with them. Newcastle have an ambitious task and are looking to assemble a squad capable of challenging for major trophies. Osula will certainly want to be part of the revolution at St James Park.
Newcastle and Sheffield United are still in talks for the striker, and the deal is expected to be completed soon.
