'Deal done' - Chelsea and West Ham transfer plans hit by £15m news

West Ham and Chelsea have been linked with a summer move for Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson in recent months and a potential deal for the 32-year-old could have just been handed a boost by news coming from the North East.

The Magpies have agreed a deal with Sheffield United to bring forward William Osula to Tyneside with the move expected to be finalised in the coming days. The promising 20-year-old, who made 21 Premier League appearances last term, plays through the middle and looks a shrewd investment for the future.

Newcastle United are set to pay an initial fee of £10 million for the Blades man, with a further £5 million potentially to come in add-on clauses. Osula is currently set to become the side's third-choice striker next season behind the prolific Alexander Isak and the experienced Callum Wilson.

There have been reports that the Magpies want to cash in on former Bournemouth man Wilson but The Northern Echo reports that a January move is now more likely to allow Osula time to settle in, given his young age. Wilson missed large parts of last season with a hamstring injury and then a chest injury, and is also in the final 12 months of his current deal.

The striker is also a doubt for the start of the Premier League season due to a back injury, which has also impacted plans of a potential summer transfer.

Wilson had been linked with a last-minute January transfer to five Premier League clubs earlier this year. Chelsea, West Ham, Aston Villa, Manchester United and Arsenal were named as potential suitors by Dazn with a cut-price fee touted, however nothing came to fruition

In June, TeamTALK reported that Chelsea had once again entered discussions with Newcastle United over the player, who has 88 Premier League goals to his name. Meanwhile, 90min has carried reports of continued £15 million summer interest from West Ham - although both clubs may now have to wait until January.
