Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt will reportedly look to sign 22-year-old Danish striker William Osula from Newcastle United in the winter transfer window.
According to a report by German outlet BILD, William Osula is still the subject of interest of Eintracht Frankfurt. The Eagles are eager to reinforce their offensive unit by signing a striker in the winter transfer window. So, the 22-year-old Newcastle United attacker has emerged as a target for the Bundesliga outfit.
Eintracht Frankfurt wanted to sign the Dane in the summer transfer window, but the deal failed to materialise. However, talks with Newcastle United over a January switch are not progressing smoothly, as the Magpies are “currently slowing down the negotiations” over a possible move in the coming weeks.
How has William Osula fared at Newcastle United?
William Osula has had to bide his time since joining Newcastle United from Sheffield United in August 2024. The Aarhus native spent most of his formative years in Denmark before graduating from the youth division at Sheffield United. However, the move to Newcastle United has not worked as well as the Danish striker would have liked thus far.
The 22-year-old has only 344 minutes of game time across 14 appearances in all competitions thus far in the 2025/26 season, while chipping in with three goals and one assist. So, it is hardly surprising that Osula’s long-term future at Newcastle United is uncertain, as he is behind Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa in the pecking order. A summer departure from St. James’ Park was on the cards for the Danish striker.
What next?
Eintracht Frankfurt came close to signing William Osula in the summer transfer window before a last-minute bid change scuppered a move. The continued interest is understandable, as the Eagles are scouring the market for a striker heading into the winter transfer window.
Recent reports have claimed that personal terms are not an issue for Eintracht Frankfurt, as Osula is keen on joining the Bundesliga outfit in the winter transfer window. However, talks with Newcastle United have not progressed as well as Eintracht Frankfurt would have liked, leaving a move for the 22-year-old Dane in a spot of bother.
The report has revealed that the Magpies are “currently slowing down the negotiations” over a possible move in the coming weeks. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the Danish striker amid his links with Eintracht Frankfurt.
