Osula to move forward in January?

Pete O’Rourke said on Football Insider: “Right now Newcastle need him (Osola) because Yoani Wessa is out with injury, which is the other summer signing they brought in.

“A lot will depend on Wessa’s fitness and what Newcastle decide to do with Willy Osula if Wessa returns to fitness.

“They will have Wisa Woltmad and also Anthony Gordon (who) can play in a striker role as well.

“If all three of these players are fit and available around January, Newcastle might consider letting the player (Osola) leave in January.”

“But there is no doubt that the interest from Eintracht Frankfurt is still there and I think there will be other clubs who will also be looking at Osula in January.”
