Newcastle United have confirmed that William Osula, their Nigerian‑eligible forward, has signed a new deal ahead of the 2025–26 campaign. The Denmark international, born on 4 August 2003 and standing at 1.93 m, initially joined the Magpies in August 2024 from Sheffield United for £10 million plus potential add‑ons.
The 21 year old began his career at Copenhagen’s academy before moving to Sheffield United in 2018. He made his professional debut in March 2022, later spending part of the 2022–23 season on loan at Derby County, where he netted twice in 16 outings. In January 2025, Osula opened his Newcastle scoring account in an FA Cup win against Bromley, and followed up with his maiden Premier League goal in April a headed strike in a 3‑0 victory over Ipswich Town.
With 14 Premier League appearances and one goal to date for Newcastle, Osula’s new contract secures his future as he looks to develop further under Eddie Howe’s guidance.

We warmly welcome William Osula’s contract renewal. His journey from Copenhagen’s youth setup to Sheffield United, a productive loan at Derby County and finally breaking into Newcastle’s first team illustrates the importance of patience, development and opportunity.
We commend the club for their long‑term vision. By extending Osula’s deal, Newcastle signal their belief in nurturing young, high‑potential players rather than chasing headline stars. His gradual integration—culminating in goals in both the FA Cup and Premier League indicates a purposeful progression.
We encourage Eddie Howe and his coaching staff to continue investing in Osula’s growth. With the striker now fully accustomed to Premier League demands, he must be given consistent game time to elevate his confidence and output. This will not only benefit his development but enrich Newcastle’s attacking options.
We return to our opening thought: securing Osula’s future isn’t just a smart move it’s a statement of intent about the club’s identity and ambition.
