According to an update by Daily Mail journalist Craig Hope, William Osula has a future beyond the winter transfer window at Newcastle United. Widespread reports have claimed that the 22-year-old striker may seek a January departure from St. James’ Park to land on his feet in the second half of the 2025/26 season.
However, the Magpies have decided that they will not part ways with the Dane in the winter transfer window. The English journalist has suggested that “despite lingering interest from home & abroad” in the Dane, the decision-makers at Newcastle United recognise the youngster’s “development and worth” to the Tyneside club.
William Osula has had to bide his time since joining Newcastle United from Sheffield United in August 2024. The Aarhus native spent most of his formative years in his homeland before graduating from the youth division at Sheffield United. However, the move to Newcastle United has not delivered the goods thus far, even though he has been impressive in his limited outings.
The 22-year-old has managed only 299 minutes of game time across 13 appearances thus far for Newcastle United in the 2025/26 season. However, Osula has made his mark in those outings, chipping in with three goals and one assist. Meanwhile, the Danish striker’s long-term future at the Tyneside club is uncertain after they signed Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa in the summer transfer window.
Widespread reports suggested a summer departure from St. James’ Park was on the cards for William Osula. However, a deal did not materialise, even though Eintracht Frankfurt came close to securing his services on deadline day of the summer transfer window.
Widespread reports have suggested that Osula remains a target for Eintracht Frankfurt, with the Bundesliga outfit tracking his situation at Newcastle United. However, the Tyneside outfit will not sanction the 22-year-old Dane’s departure in the winter transfer window.
While recent reports suggested Newcastle United may sanction Osula’s exit in the winter transfer window, the decision makes sense, as Yoane Wissa continues to struggle with fitness issues. With Newcastle United competing in four tournaments, they must retain all resources to go deep into every competition. The update has suggested that, as “despite lingering interest from home & abroad” in the Dane, the decision-makers at Newcastle United recognise the youngster’s “development and worth” to the Tyneside club.
