Newcastle sign 21-year-old Nigeria-eligible striker from Sheffield United

English Premier League side, Newcastle United, have signed Nigeria-eligible forward, William Osula from Sheffield United for an undisclosed fee, Soccernet.ng reports.

The 21-year-old joins The Magpies after relegating with Sheffield United last season where he made 21 league appearances, averaging 38 minutes of football per game.

He signs for Eddie Howe’s side as they look to bolster their attack after dealing with multiple injuries to Aleksandar Isak and Callum Wilson last season.

Osula plays largely as a centre-forward, but can also play as a winger due to the blistering pace possesses. Speaking at his unveiling, he revealed how delighted he was to join the club.

“I’m very happy to be here. It’s a big club, a great club, so I’m very happy for the opportunity to join Newcastle United. It’s a great opportunity, and as soon as I heard about Newcastle’s interest, I knew I had to take the chance to join this club if it came. It has come, and I’m really happy to be here,” the Danish attacker said in quotes revealed by Newcastle’s website.

Osula was born in Denmark to a Danish mother and a Nigerian father and moved to England at a young age. He was called up to a training camp for the Denmark U19s in February 2022 and has gone on to make five appearances for their youth team since then. He is eligible to play for England and the Super Eagles of Nigeria in the future.
