Newcastle launching bid for Sheffield Utd striker Osula

Newcastle United are closing in on his signature as they look to replenish their frontline.

Per Simon Bird, the Magpies are set to make a £10 million bid for the 20-year-old.

Osula, a 6ft 4in targetman, managed 28 games for the Blades last term.

Newcastle want a younger forward with potential as back up to Alexander Isak, as they may sell Callum Wilson.

AC Milan stopper Malick Thiaw could also be heading to the Magpies this summer.
