Newcastle United had a comparatively cold transfer window this summer. With the club failing to bring in major reinforcements in the center-back role and the wing position, Eddie Howe's side failed to strengthen their squad on key components. However, it feels as if one of the few signings they made this summer, their prodigy forward, is ready for game time at the club.

Not to forget, a few days ago, reports surfaced indicating that former Aston Villa defender Curtis Jones appreciated Newcastle's recent signing, William Osula, saying he has everything to succeed at the club. Not only that, Davies compared the £10M signing from Sheffield United to Premier League superstar forward Haaland, praising his versatility.

And it feels the 21-year-old is ready to take on European football, as Curtis Davies had mentioned. Recently, in the U-21 game, Denmark Vs Iceland, Osula stood amazing despite ending in a losing cause. Early in the game, in the 16th minute, the Denmark young star opened the scoring for the nation, making it to 4 goals in his last three appearances for the nation.

William Osula's brilliant run for Denmark not only seems pivotal for the young forward's individual glory but also assures Eddie Howe that he can count upon him when he needs to. Not to forget, even though Newcastle United's start to the new campaign has been decent, they need to improve on their offensive front, and Osula seems to be in good form, helping the club replicate the same.

So far, the 21-year-old forward hasn't been utilized by Newcastle's boss, but given the youngster's recent run for Denmark, the English manager might hand him his Newcastle debut soon. Already having an injury-inflicted squad, with the second choice forward, Calum Wilson, injured, Osula can grow up to the role of the backup striker to club hero, Alexander Isak.

Overall, Newcastle's signing of William Osula this summer seems to be an interesting prospect for the Magpies club, shining for Denmark. In the long season ahead, it would be interesting to see how Howe capitalizes on the young forward in securing their dream top-4 Premier League finish.
