Newcastle United have agreed to sign a “serious player” in a deal worth up to £15m, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.
### Newcastle Transfer News
The Magpies continue to be linked with numerous players, including Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who is being considered for a summer move to St James’ Park. Calvert-Lewin might see this as the right time to leave Everton and reunite with his former teammate Anthony Gordon.
Callum Wilson appears likely to leave Newcastle before the transfer window closes, with Boulaye Dia being suggested as a potential replacement. Dia, who has scored six goals in 28 appearances for Senegal, may depart Salernitana following their relegation from Serie A last season.
Newcastle is also reportedly preparing a club-record bid for Real Madrid teenager Arda Guler, considered one of Europe’s most promising young talents. Although Real Madrid may be reluctant to sell the 19-year-old, securing his transfer would be a significant achievement for Eddie Howe.
Defensive reinforcements are still needed, with Malick Thiaw and Trevoh Chalobah identified as possible targets. Both players have impressed for AC Milan and Chelsea, respectively, and would provide the depth Howe seeks in a crucial area of the pitch.
### Newcastle Close to Signing “Serious Player”
Romano revealed on X that Newcastle is close to signing William Osula from Sheffield United in a deal worth up to £15m.
At just 20 years old, Osula may not initially be a key starter but represents an exciting prospect given his long-term potential. The young attacker has made six appearances for Denmark’s Under-21 team, scoring once, and has 21 Premier League outings, showcasing his experience in the competition. He has been described as a “serious player” by ITV Football, while Pano Scout on X praised his “off the ball actions” and “understanding of the game,” indicating his maturity beyond his years.
The expectation is that Osula, who shares the same agency as Nick Pope, will join as a squad player and develop under Howe’s guidance, potentially becoming a key part of Newcastle’s attack over time.
