William Osula

William Osula of Newcastle United was born on 4 August 2003 (age 23).

William Osula, born on 4 August 2003 (age 23), is a Danish striker with Newcastle United. At 6ft 4in (1.92m), he is an imposing centre-forward, and his market value is around £6m according to Transfermarkt.

His most productive league season came in 2025-26 at Newcastle, when he scored seven goals in 24 appearances. For a developing striker, that was enough to mark him out as more than just a squad name, without pretending the job was finished.

In 2026-27, his club involvement has been limited so far, with one Premier League appearance and two in the FA Cup. He has also scored three times in four UEFA Under-21 qualifying appearances, keeping some momentum at international youth level.

Osula remains a young Danish forward trying to turn physical presence and flashes of productivity into a steadier senior career at Newcastle.

Osula progressed from Sheffield United's academy after joining as a trainee in July 2018, spent loan periods at Derby County in September 2022 and January 2023, and completed a permanent move to Newcastle United in August 2024 for a fee of 15,000,000; the trajectory traces a conventional pathway from youth development and lower-level loans to a sizeable permanent transfer, with his U21 scoring run a standout phase.
