Newcastle in advanced talks to sign striker for £10m + £5m in add-ons

Newcastle United are closing in on the signing of Danish U21 talent William Osula from Sheffield United.

According to The Telegraph and Sky Sports, the club are in ‘advanced talks’ with the Blades and there’s an expectation a deal will be concluded.

Keith Downie reports that a deal could be worth £10m with a further £5m in add-ons, with the 20-year-old likely to join as one for the future behind current forwards Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson.

The Denmark U21 international scored three goals in last season’s FA Cup but didn’t notch in 21 Premier League outings. He is under contract with the South Yorkshire side until 2027.

He has enjoyed a strong start to the pre-season however, with goals against both York City and Chesterfield.

Any move to Tyneside would make him Newcastle’s sixth signing of the season so far, following moves for Odysseas Vlachodimos, Lloyd Kelly, Lewis Hall, John Ruddy and Miodrag Pivaš.
