Eintracht Frankfurt eye deadline day move for Newcastle United striker William Osula | OneFootball

Eintracht Frankfurt have made a £28.5 million bid for Newcastle United striker William Osula, according to Sky Sports journalist Keith Downie.

Newcastle are open to selling the Dane after signing Germany international striker Nick Woltemade, and with the imminent arrival of Brentford striker Yoane Wissa.

Osula is expected to leave St James’ Park ahead of the 7.00 pm transfer deadline today, and he also has interest from the Premier League.

Aston Villa are one of the clubs looking to keep him in England.

Villa manager Unai Emery wants quality cover and competition for Ollie Watkins, who has drawn blanks in 270 minutes of Premier League action in 2025-26.

While a deal could tempt Osula, Newcastle want to sell and Villa may not be able to afford him.

He joined the Magpies from Sheffield United for around £15m last summer, and selling him for a profit would appeal to them.

Alexander Isak is also expected to join Liverpool for around £130m today, having pushed to leave all summer.

Wissa is the only player who has been linked with a move to Newcastle today, but manager Eddie Howe could be open to completing some late deals if the opportunities arise.

Selling both Osula and Isak would give Newcastle enough room to complete a couple of moves in the coming hours.

The club are in dire need of attacking firepower following a winless start to the 2025-26 Premier League campaign.

Howe will hope both Wissa and Woltemade have what it takes to replace Isak’s goals.

The soon-to-be Liverpool striker had been a guaranteed source of goals for the Magpies, and his absence was felt in their opening three games of the season.
