Newcastle United Player Agrees to Depart: Report

A player from Newcastle United has agreed to depart from Tyneside.

The Magpies are experiencing a revival in the Premier League, having comfortably won their last two matches after a challenging start to the season, during which manager Eddie Howe faced scrutiny.

January might offer a chance to bolster the Newcastle squad, but before any new arrivals, it appears that one star will be leaving.

The Toon spent over £250 million over the summer, with the likes of Nick Woltemade, Malick Thiaw, Aaron Ramsdale, Yoane Wissa, and Jacob Ramsey joining the northeast ahead of another Champions League season.

However, this was countered by the significant departure of Alexander Isak, as Howe aimed to transform a team that lost its star player—Woltemade has had a promising start to life in the Premier League.

With Wissa set to return in the coming weeks and Woltemade in excellent form, opportunities have been limited for William Osula, who nearly left in the summer. Now, Sky Deutschland reports that the Dane has reached a verbal agreement to leave St. James' Park.

Osula is essentially the third-choice striker for Howe, yet has still managed to score three goals and provide an assist over 14 games this season.

German outlet Kicker reported in September that Newcastle blocked a last-minute move for the 22-year-old to transfer to Eintracht Frankfurt after Wissa's injury, although Die Adler are still keen on Osula, despite him being sidelined since November with an ankle injury.

Eintracht is interested in securing Osula on loan with a €20m option to buy. While they have an agreement with the player, negotiations with Newcastle remain.

eScored believes that the Magpies value Osula highly, and the young striker is content on Tyneside, even though his potential move to the Bundesliga fell through earlier this season.

Much now hinges on the decision of Newcastle's ownership regarding the completion of the deal, as they are evidently reluctant to weaken their squad midseason.

Should Eintracht once again fail to secure Osula, they have reportedly identified SV Elversber’s Younes Ebnoutalib as a fallback option.

Osula is valued at €15m, according to Transfermarkt. Newcastle takes on Tottenham Hotspur tonight as Premier League action continues.
