Eintracht Frankfurt are preparing a renewed assault to sign William Osula, with club insiders confirming that the Newcastle United forward remains a top attacking priority ahead of the January transfer window.
The German side came within touching distance of landing the Danish-Nigerian striker on summer deadline day, only for negotiations to collapse in the final stretch. But according to fresh information gathered by our desk, Frankfurt have never cooled their interest.
Sources close to the deal reveal that Frankfurt already have a verbal understanding with Osula, who is enthusiastic about the move and sees the Bundesliga as a major opportunity for consistent minutes and development.
Frankfurt Eye €3m Loan — But Newcastle Must Approve
The plan on the table is a €3 million winter loan with a €20 million option to buy, a structure Frankfurt believe gives them a fair shot at landing the 22-year-old permanently.
However, the deal remains entirely dependent on Newcastle’s ownership group, who must decide whether to release a young striker they still consider a long-term project.
Osula’s Season So Far
Osula featured in Newcastle’s first 10 Premier League games—though he started only once—before an ankle injury sidelined him for the last three league fixtures. Across all competitions, he has logged 14 appearances, producing three goals and one assist.
The forward signed from Sheffield United in August 2024 and is tied to the club until June 2029, meaning Newcastle retain full control over his future.
Alternative Target Ready if Newcastle Block the Move
Should the Osula pursuit hit another wall, Frankfurt have shortlisted SV Elversberg striker Younes Ebnoutalib as a backup option. The club intend to secure attacking reinforcements in January regardless of how the Osula situation unfolds.
