Still, it remains to be seen if\u00a0Osula<\/a>\u00a0has a future at St James\u2019 Park<\/a>. Nick\u00a0Woltemade\u00a0is Eddie Howe<\/a>\u2019s star striker, while supporters are eagerly awaiting\u00a0Yoane\u00a0Wissa\u2019s return from injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n While Howe believes\u00a0Osula\u00a0is developing into a better player at Newcastle<\/a>,\u00a0there\u2019s\u00a0little doubt he faces a huge battle for regular starts when both\u00a0Woltemade\u00a0and Wissa are available.\u00a0<\/p>\n Osula\u2019s future at the club will come down to game time and there appears to be an understanding of that behind the scenes. <\/p>\n Indeed, according to The Chronicle<\/a>,\u00a0two German clubs\u00a0remain\u00a0keen on the former Sheffield United youngster.\u00a0<\/p>\n Osula\u00a0almost joined Eintracht Frankfurt\u00a0on deadline\u00a0day<\/a>\u00a0and they are said to retain an interest, along with Bayer Leverkusen.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The report goes on to suggest that the forward\u2019s agents are \u201cunderstood\u201d to have a \u201cverbal agreement\u201d with the Newcastle United coaching staff<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n If he is not playing regularly by the time the January transfer window rolls around, perhaps he could depart. <\/p>\n Earlier this week, The Athletic<\/a> also suggested that there is still a chance\u00a0Osula\u00a0could leave in January.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Eddie Howe on Will Osula:<\/p>\n “Will is vitally important, he is quick, he is athletic. He has a good attitude and better know how to manage game situations. He is now coming on the pitch looking like a complete package. Every time he has come on the pith, he has performed. <\/p>\n Great\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/72IIbhlF1h<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Newcastle United (@NUFC) October 28, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n View Tweet<\/p>\n How much did Newcastle United pay to sign William\u00a0Osula?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Osula\u00a0could eventually cost Newcastle United up to \u00a315million<\/a> following his move from Sheffield United in 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n Given the fact that, at one point, Frankfurt were willing to pay around \u00a330million for\u00a0Osula<\/a>\u00a0this summer, Newcastle could stand to turn a huge profit on the player if he does end up leaving.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Still, the idea of him leaving no longer looks as certain as it once did. His pursuit of first-team football is understandable but keeping him at the club this summer is increasingly looking like an inspired decision. <\/p>\n There are certainly enough games for him to feature, even when Wissa and\u00a0Woltemade\u00a0are fit. Those appearances may not always come from the start, but Newcastle\u2019s fixture schedule<\/a> is so demanding that\u00a0opportunities\u00a0could\u00a0well arise.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n ![\"William](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2237182057-1024x683.jpg\")
