Joins Newcastle Osula is set to join Newcastle after agreeing on a move from Sheffield United ahead of the 2024/25 season.

Impact Osula began his professional career with the Sheffield United youth team back in 2020. Last season, he made his debut in the Premier League, starting just nine times in 21 appearances. He attempted 21 shots, eight of which were on target while also recording nine clearances. With Newcastle, Osula is expected to come off the bench initially as he continues to gain more minutes in the Premier League as he looks for his first goal at the top level.

Good effort in start Osula recorded two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Manchester City.

Impact Osula was back in the starting group for the first time in the last four games, and he recorded a shot on goal for the second consecutive match. It also marks the fifth time in 11 appearances on the season that Osula finished with fewer than two passes in a game.

Three shots in defeat Osula attempted three shots (two on target) in Saturday's 5-0 loss to Burnley.

Impact Osula managed more shots than any of his teammates, despite only playing the second half. He forced James Trafford into a good save when he found himself through on goal. The striker has not started a game since August and has recently returned from an undisclosed injury. He will hope to win his starting place back under new manager Chris Wilder.

Unused sub Saturday Osula (undisclosed) was an unused sub during Saturday's 2-1 win over the Wolves.

Impact Osula had been getting minutes with the U21 side before returning to the squad Saturday. He had started the first three matches at forward, but will now have to compete with James McAtee for playing time in the starting XI for the team.

Impact The severity of Osula's injury remains unclear, but it seems he could be close to a return, perhaps after the November international break in a few more weeks. Osula's return would add depth to the attacking line, but he's not expected to make a big impact in fantasy. He started each of the Blades' opening three games but only mustered three shots off target in that span while failing to log a full 90 twice.

Still shelved Osula (undisclosed) will not be available for Saturday's match versus Arsenal, confirmed manager Paul Heckingbottom.

Impact Osula is still not ready to return as he will miss his fifth match in a row with an undisclosed injury. It will be tough to see the forward return straight into the starting XI after missing almost two months, especially with Cameron Archer getting more minutes at forward during his absence.

Still not an option Osula (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's match against Manchester United.

Impact Osula will have to wait another match for his return as he is on the sidelines for Saturday's matchup. The forward hasn't been an option for the team since the third match of the season and will look to return in the next couple of matches. When he does return, expect him to start on the bench before eventually suiting up with the starting XI.

Remains a doubt Osula (undisclosed) remains a doubt for Saturday's trip to West Ham.

Impact Osula picked up a knock while playing for Denmark and remains uncertain. Osula got the start in the opening three matches of the Premier League before picking up the injury. Osula's next chance to return is a Saturday trip to West Ham.

Picks up knock Osula is dealing with an undisclosed injury sustained while playing for Denmark that could sideline him versus Tottenham on Saturday. Manager Paul Heckingbottom told reporters, "Ge...

Impact While Osula did start the first three matches of the season for Sheffield, the return of Oliver McBurnie and the addition of Cameron Archer likely would have served to relegate Osula to a bench role against Spurs anyway. Still, Osula's potential absence would stretch a Sheffield United squad that is already light on additional attack options.
