Will Osula has seemingly established himself because the first-choice striker for Newcastle United of late after scoring in every of the Magpies’ final two video games.
Fans have been calling for Nick Woltemade to be reinstated to the centre-forward place, and in press conferences, Eddie Howe has been requested why his £69m signing is sitting on the bench whereas Will Osula is on the pitch.
Howe gave a blunt response that he doesn’t pick his team based on price tags, and Will Osula is scoring objectives. It’s a good level.
There’s nonetheless a rawness to Osula’s recreation, but when he is placing the ball within the internet, we won’t actually argue an excessive amount of.
That rawness could also be why the 22-year-old is but to make his senior debut for Denmark after bagging eight objectives in 15 video games for the Under-21s.
Nigeria seeking to poach Will Osula
Osula has been chosen for the senior squad however has but to make his debut, which hasn’t gone unnoticed by the Nigerian Football Federation, in keeping with a report from Danish outlet, Tipsbladet.
They declare that Osula has been contacted by Nigeria to switch allegiances and symbolize the Super Eagles, as he’s eligible to do attributable to his Nigerian father.
Neither Denmark nor Nigeria certified for the World Cup this yr, so that will not tip the scales in both route for Osula who should now decide on his international future.
Osula’s membership future can be unsure
It’s not simply his international future that’s unsure. Will Osula virtually left Newcastle in every of the final two switch home windows, with Eintracht Frankfurt very keen on the pacey forward.
Newcastle pulled out of the deal in the summertime, and Osula was injured in January, which scuppered any potential transfer.
Now that he is Eddie Howe’s go-to striker, it stays to be seen whether or not he is performed sufficient to earn himself one other season on the membership, or if Newcastle will use his current kind to up his worth and eventually transfer him on.
We love Osula, however there may be quite a lot of proof to recommend he will not be adequate for the place we need to be. He has the uncooked expertise, however we’re unsure he has the applying.
