"In 2014 Osula - then aged 11 - won the Manchester United Soccer Schools World Skills Final. United published a social media post with a picture of Osula being presented with a prize on the Old Trafford pitch by club legends Bryan Robson and Gary Pallister."
"Born in Copenhagen, he joined Sheffield United's youth set-up in 2018 and has played for Denmark Under-21s. Now 22, Osula has been predominantly used as a substitute by Newcastle since his move to St James' Park from the Blades in the summer of 2024."
"His goal on Wednesday was his third in 30 Premier League appearances for Newcastle, although 29 of those outings have been from the bench."
