Newcastle United are prepared to seal a deal for Sheffield United’s Danish-born Nigerian forward William Osula, with the fee believed to be worth £15 million.
This is according to Sky Sports News journalists Keith Downie and Mark McAdam (via Fabrizio Romano).
It is reported that the fee is in excess of £10m and long term deal and all is set to be done very soon.
The Magpies have had a fairly quiet transfer window so far this summer, with goalkeepers John Ruddy and Vlachadimos Odysseas joining free agent Lloyd Kelly as the only arrivals of the summer for Eddie Howe’s squad.
But the Toon are now set to seal a deal to add to their attacking options as they near an agreement on a deal for Denmark U-21 international Osula.
Osula is capable of playing as both a winger or a striker and scored five goals in 21 appearances for the Rams.
Last season he was a regular in the Premier League for Sheffield United, making 21 appearances but failing to find the net, although he managed three goals in two appearances in the FA Cup.
Osula was born in Denmark to a Danish mother and a Nigerian father and moved to England at a young age.
