William Osula has five caps for Denmark Under-21s Newcastle United have signed Denmark Under-21 striker William Osula from Sheffield United. The 21-year-old joins the Magpies for a reported fee of £15m, having scored three goals in 31 senior appearances for the Blades. The striker, who has five caps for Denmark U21s, made 21 Premier League appearances for Chris Wilder's side last term as the Blades were relegated to the Championship. "It's a big club, a great club, so I'm very happy for the opportunity to join Newcastle United, " said Osula. "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. " Newcastle manager Eddie Howe says the club have been following Osula for three years after a recommendation from assistant manager Jason Tindall, who spent time at Bramall Lane in 2021 as part of Paul Heckingbottom's backroom staff. "He's a player I've known since JT's [Jason Tindall's] time at Sheffield United, " Howe said on Thursday. "We've been tracking him for three years and he excites us. He has all the raw ingredients to become a great centre-forward. " Osula is Newcastle's sixth signing of the summer, following the arrivals of Miodrag Pivas, Odysseas Vlachodimos, John Ruddy, Lloyd Kelly and Lewis Hall.
