Newcastle United ‘agree’ sixth summer signing as Paul Mitchell closes in on £15m swoop

Newcastle United are closing in on their sixth signing of the summer after agreeing a £15million package with Sheffield United for William Osula.
The 20-year-old forward made 21 Premier League appearances for The Blades last season but his only goals of the campaign came in the FA Cup. The Denmark Under-21s international can play out wide or through the middle in attack and would be brought in to help support Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson heading into the new season.

Wilson is currently out with a back injury and will miss the opening day of the campaign against Southampton on August 17, leaving Isak as Newcastle’s only fit senior striker heading into the new season.

Newcastle have been in discussions regarding a £10million transfer plus £5million in add-ons. And, according to The Telegraph, that fee has been agreed between Newcastle and Sheffield United.
