Newly crowned Europa League champions Aston Villa are interested in signing Danish‑born Nigerian striker William Osula from Newcastle United, according to Football Insider. Osula, who has scored five goals in his last six outings for Newcastle, has been forced to wait for regular minutes under Eddie Howe but is now emerging as a first‑choice centre‑forward.
Newcastle is reluctant to let him leave, but Villa are keen to bolster their attacking options. The Nigeria Football Federation has also contacted Osula about a potential invitation to the Super Eagles.
Key Points:
Osula’s recent scoring form (5 goals in 6 games) has attracted top Premier League suitors.
A move to Aston Villa would offer him European football after their Europa League triumph.
Newcastle’s reluctance to sell suggests they see Osula as a long‑term asset.
The NFF’s interest adds a layer of international tug‑of‑war between Nigeria and Denmark.
Osula has only represented Denmark at the youth level, so he remains eligible for Nigeria.
