The 21-year-old has appeared in thirty-one matches across all competitions since his senior debut for the Blades, putting his name on the scoresheet three times.
He has a bit of Premier League experience, playing in twenty-one matches throughout the 2023-2024 season.
William Osula has made a name for himself as a promising young talent in football. His skill set includes speed, agility, and excellent finishing abilities, making him a valuable addition to any team’s attacking lineup.
Osula’s signing reflects Newcastle’s long-term strategy of investing in young talents who can develop further within the club. The transfer will be finalized pending a successful medical test, which is standard procedure for player transfers.
Following the medical clearance, Newcastle is expected to make an official announcement regarding the signing.
