‘See for themselves’ - Will Osula sends confident message to Newcastle United supporters
Will Osula is relishing the opportunity to showcase his skills at Newcastle United.
Will Osula believes he has plenty more to offer at Newcastle United after earning his spot in recent months.
Signed in 2024, the Dane served as third fiddle to Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson. The Magpies recognised Osula’s raw attributes and talent - stumping up £15million to prise him from Sheffield United.
Game time proved limited, with Osula honing his skills predominantly on the training pitch. Eddie Howe credited former assistant coach Graeme Jones as a key figure in the striker’s development.

At the back end of last season, Osula announced himself to the first-team picture. Six goals in nine games - including a last-minute wonder strike against Manchester United - made the shirt his to lose.
Osula headed into the 2026-27 campaign as the main striker but a foot injury on the opening day disrupted his progress. Now fully fit, the 23-year-old scored his first Premier League goal of the campaign at Selhurst Park last month.
He has returned to the Denmark setup for fixtures against Portugal and Norway. However, Osula is fully aware that he must still prove himself at St James’ Park.
In a message to Newcastle fans, the forward acknowledged that he still has a point to prove. Osula told reporters: “Everyone can watch and see how I play for themselves and make their own decisions about what they think I am.
“But I feel like I still have a lot to show in what I can do inside the pitch. So hopefully, over time, I can show the different things I can do on the field. It's really nice to have the opportunity now to play and be able to show what I can do on the field over a period of time.”
Whether as a No.9, out wide or from the bench, Osula is prepared to fulfil any role required to get the Magpies back on track. He added: “I'm just here to play my job for the gaffer, whoever he wants me to play. So whichever job he gives me, I'm ready to go out there and help the lads get the three points, which is what we need to hit our target this season.”
