Newcastle United are reportedly ready to stop any attempts to sign William Osula this summer, even with Aston Villa monitoring him closely. Newcastle believe Osula’s development has improved under Eddie Howe, shifting the outlook from needing regular minutes elsewhere to staying at St James’ Park. Osula joined Newcastle from Sheffield United in 2024 and is contracted until 2029, giving Newcastle strong leverage in any negotiations. Villa’s interest is driven by planning for the future of their attack, particularly as Ollie Watkins ages. Osula’s pace, power, Premier League experience, and age make him a potential long-term option. Recent form includes scoring twice in a 3-1 win over West Ham, reinforcing Newcastle’s decision to keep him.
"Osula is quick, powerful, still only 22, and already has Premier League experience. For a club like Villa, he would be a smart long-term gamble because he has the raw tools to become a very useful forward. But from Newcastle's side, selling him now would feel a little premature. Osula has not yet fully exploded at the club, but there have been flashes. The attacker has been in fine form recently He recently scored twice in Newcastle's 3-1 win over West Ham, a performance that showed his finishing ability and confidence in the final third."
