Newcastle United are close to securing two forward signings following a breakthrough in talks, sources have told Football Insider.

The north-east giants have agreed a deal to sign Sheffield United forward William Osula, with a medical imminent.

A £15million bid has been accepted by the Championship club, and personal terms have been agreed upon as he prepares to move to St James’ Park.

Osula is versatile and can play down the middle or out wide, providing Eddie Howe with several options.

The 20-year-old made 21 appearances in the Premier League last season as Sheffield United were unable to avoid relegation.

Although that signing has not been agreed yet, sources claim that the deal between the Premier League rivals is still alive.

The 22-year-old is open to joining Newcastle as they push to sign a new right-winger before the transfer deadline.
