OFFICIAL: William Osula has completed his transfer to Newcastle United

Sheffield United striker William Osula has completed his impending move to Newcastle United after undergoing his medical tests on Wednesday. The Magpies have reportedly paid an initial £15 million with a further £5 million in bonuses.

Osula struggled to hit the back of the net for Sheffield last season, as the side got relegated to the Championship, but Newcastle believe that the youngster has the potential to become a top player in the Premier League. His arrival takes Newcastle’s spending to £63million in this transfer window.

“I’m very happy to be here,” Osula said. “It’s a big club, a great club, so I’m very happy for the opportunity to join Newcastle United.

“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. It has come, and I’m really happy to be here.”
