One of the most interesting stories that flew relatively under the radar on a dramatic deadline day was the immediate future of Will Osula.
The striker did not succeed in impressing Leeds United last weekend and got the nod from the start, which was quickly followed by the signing sessions of Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa, leaving Osula’s route to start in serious danger.
At one point on Deadline Day, Craig Hope reported that the 22-year-old ‘on the edge’ was from a relocation of £ 30 million to Frankfurt, although that deal collapsed and the UEFA rules blocked a proposed switch to Aston Villa, according to David Ornstein.
But now there are reports from abroad that one of the interested clubs could return with a new bid in January, and also offer a number of very different claims about the figures involved …
According to German newspaper ChildThe Inte Trap Frankfurt returns to the table for Willa Osula in January, after he did not sign him this summer.
In a movement that regards Bild as “probably”, it is assumed that the former Europa League winners had previously wanted the DANE for a loan agreement for the season.
Despite suggestions that £ 30 million was offered, the German outlet states that Newcastle demanded a loan costs of £ 4.3 million, which would have been a record figure for the Bundesliga club, plus an obligation to buy at £ 17.3 million.
This would have made the total package worth £ 21.6 million, but it is believed that the obligation to buy at that time was considered ‘too risky’ for Frankfurt.
However, it seems that their interest will not scare off and they will return in the new year with a new bid, in which Osula is probably looking for playing time now that Woltemade, Wissa and Elanga are limiting his chances, either at the top or on the right wing.
Everywhere fans can all agree that Osula, although still very raw, has a lot of potential as a 6ft 4 ″ forward with pace, strength and fast feet.
However, that is simply not the player we can afford to start our big games now. He did not have the Premier League experience of Yoane Wissa, and it would be a daring decision to start him through Club-Record that Woltemade signed soon.
A loan spell in Germany can be great for the development of the former Sheffield United star, but it can be a bad time for Newcastle to consider a loan, with Wissa at the end of December and much of January at Aalcon.
