“It’s a big club, a great club, so I’m very happy for the opportunity to join Newcastle United,” said Osula.<\/p>\n
“It’s a great opportunity, and as soon as I heard about Newcastle’s interest, I knew I had to take the chance to join this club if it came.”<\/p>\n
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe says the club have been tracking Osula for some time.<\/p>\n
“William is a talented young forward with all the attributes to be an exciting player for Newcastle United,” said Howe.<\/p>\n
“We have watched his development closely and we are delighted to have the opportunity to work with him in this next step in his career.”<\/p>\n
