Newcastle United have agreed a deal with Sheffield United for William Osula. The Magpies will pay a sum worth £10 million upfront, plus £5 million in add-ons for the striker.
The Premier League side has an agreement on personal terms with the player as well, which means it is only a matter of time before the move is made official.

The 20-year-old striker has impressed at the youth level so far, and is a towering physical presence, standing at 6’4″. He spent the 22-23 season on loan at Derby County before returning to his boyhood club, Sheffield United, for the 23-24 season.
The youngster made 21 brief appearances for the Blades in the top flight, but shone in the FA Cup, scoring three goals in two games. After their relegation, it seems like the youngster is keen on returning to the Premier League.
William Osula has represented Denmark at the U21 level, scoring one goal in six games. And it now remains to be seen how he fares at his new club once the transfer is complete.
