Newcastle are about to sell Alexander Isak to Liverpool, and William Osula is also set to depart St James' Park on Deadline Day. The 22-year-old joined from Sheffield United last summer for £15m and has struggled for minutes since the move to the north East. Newcastle have signed Nick Woltemade and are set to bring in Yoane Wissa, which has relaxed Eddie Howe's previous resistance to Osula leaving. Eintracht Frankfurt are prepared to pay around £30m and Newcastle would retain a buy-back clause. The sale would protect Newcastle's PSR position and could allow a late squad addition before the deadline.
The 22-year-old, who joined from Sheffield United last summer in a deal worth 15m, has struggled for minutes since making the move to the north East, and that is set to remain the case despite the departure of Isak since Newcastle have already signed Nick Woltemade, and they are about to bring in Yoane Wissa. Eddie Howe had previously blocked Osula's departure, but now that Woltemade and Wissa are arriving at St James' Park, his stance has relaxed.
As reported by Craig Hope, Osula is on the verge of joining Eintracht Frankfurt, who sold Hugo Ekitike to Liverpool earlier this summer. The Bundesliga side are prepared to pay 30m, with it also being noted that Newcastle would retain a buy-back clause as part of the agreement should one be finalised. Osula has shown flashes of quality at Newcastle, but he is still very raw.
