Newcastle United could be willing to sell William Osula in the January transfer window.
The 22-year-old striker has been linked with several clubs in recent weeks, and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops. He needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and leaving Newcastle could be ideal for him in January.
However, summer signing Yoane Wissa is currently sidelined due to injury, and Newcastle cannot afford to weaken their attacking unit. They will have to keep Osula for now. The 22-year-old could be sold if Wissa returns to action quickly.
The striker has attracted the attention of European clubs and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. He needs to join a club where he will have regular opportunities, and the move to the Bundesliga would be ideal for him. Eintracht Frankfurt wants to obtain his signature.
Will Osula leave in January?
Pete O’Rourke told Football Insider: “Right now Newcastle need him [Osula] because Yoane Wissa is injured, the other summer recruit they brought in.
“A lot will depend on Wissa’s fitness and what Newcastle decide to do with Willy Osula if Wissa returns to fitness.
“They will have Wissa, Woltemade and also Anthony Gordon [who] can also play a significant role.
“If these three players are fit and available around January, then perhaps Newcastle could consider letting the player [Osula] leave in January.
“But there is no doubt that the interest from Eintracht Frankfurt is still there and I think there will be other clubs who will also look at Osula in January.”
William Osula needs playing time
The striker is young enough to improve further, but he needs regular playing time to realize his potential. Sitting on the Newcastle bench makes no sense for the player.
They have added enough depth to the attacking unit, and it would make sense for the Premier League side to take advantage of the 22-year-old.
