'My time will come': Newcastle's newest signing is buzzing to be at the club

Despite is going on about it as if Newcastle United didn't sign a single soul in the summer there were a couple of incomings.

Lloyd Kelly arrived as a free agent after leaving Bournemouth, two goalkeepers we didn't need arrived instead of the one keeper that we did, Lewis Hall made his loan move permanent and Newcastle swooped for young Danish U21 Will Osula from Sheffield United.

The 21-year-old is a player Jason Tindall has admired for a long time since he was part of the Sheffield United setup, and after Osula made it into the Sheffield United first-team, Newcastle felt it was time to strike.

Osula was less than convincing in the Premier League with Sheffield United, but the team was so poor that season that nobody could have come away looking good.

Will Osula cost Newcastle an initial £10 million

Newcastle spent an initial £10 million which could rise to £15 million to bring Osula to the club and the young forward was cruelly denied his first goal in the Sela Cup after it was chalked off for offside.

While Osula is yet to make a competitive appearance for Newcastle, he's otherwise over the moon to be at the club.

Currently away on international duty with Denmark Under 21s, Osula has been speaking to Danish outlet Ekstra Bladet where he opened up about the move.

The Newcastle move happened very quickly

Osula said that everything moved really quickly and he knows his time will come at Newcastle.

“It actually happened very quickly. I think there were a lot of rumours about me going to Newcastle but I didn’t look into it. I was very focused on the fact that the season in Sheffield should start soon.

“All of a sudden Sheffield [United] came and told me that Newcastle wanted to sign me and that they would accept the offer. Then my agent called me and then it just happened quickly over two or three days, when I was in Newcastle and signed the contract. When they told me [about Newcastle United’s interest] I was a bit in shock, but I was just so happy.

“I was like, Wow, it’s Newcastle now. I had almost prepared myself for the season. I was ready and then Newcastle came quickly overnight. It was something I was shocked and happy about.

“It (signing for Newcastle United) is something that I am very proud of. Newcastle is a huge club and I am very happy to have made the switch to Newcastle from Sheffield United. So I’m looking forward to seeing what will happen in the future.

“There are already huge stars [at Newcastle United], so I get there and have to learn their style and how they play. I just have to come in and learn a lot of things from the coaches and players. I just have to become a better player and then hopefully my time will come when I can play a lot in the future.

“Newcastle is a huge club. Last season they played in the Champions League and it is not easy when you play in the Premier League, where there are many good teams. When you hear Newcastle, it’s a huge chance and a huge club. It is something that I am happy to be a part of, I take it as it comes.

“I’m just happy to be a part of Newcastle, so my time will come.”
