Osula deal off, Wissa latest and loan agreed – Newcastle update after 7pm deadline
As the clock ticks down on the summer transfer window, the 7pm deadline looms large, sparking a frantic race across England and much of Europe. Clubs are working tirelessly behind the scenes to get final paperwork submitted, seal medicals, and push through last-minute deals before the market slams shut.
With the tension rising, supporters are left wondering which transfers will make it over the line and which negotiations will collapse under the weight of time pressure. Here’s the latest state of play.
Osula Move to Frankfurt Collapses
Let’s start with the setback. Earlier this afternoon, reports suggested that Will Osula was on the verge of securing a big move to Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt. Some outlets even claimed that a £30m transfer was close to being finalized, while others hinted at a possible loan-to-buy agreement.
However, fresh developments have confirmed that the deal has completely fallen through. Despite being labelled “almost done” just hours ago, Osula’s switch to Germany is now officially off the table. It’s a major disappointment for both player and club, and one of the more surprising twists of deadline day so far.
Wissa on Verge of Newcastle Arrival
On the brighter side for Newcastle United fans, the Yoane Wissa deal is moving full steam ahead. The Brentford forward successfully completed his medical earlier today and is now expected at St James’ Park later this evening to wrap up media duties and pose for the traditional unveiling shots.
The Magpies have already submitted the necessary deal sheet before the cut-off, meaning the move is safe even if the official announcement comes later tonight. The agreement is believed to be worth over £50m, with Wissa signing a four-year contract that will keep him in black-and-white until 2028.
This represents a significant coup for Newcastle, who have been hunting for attacking reinforcements all summer. Wissa’s versatility across the front line is expected to provide Eddie Howe with a much-needed boost as the club battles on multiple fronts this season.
The Final Countdown
With just hours left before the transfer window closes, more twists and turns are still possible. Clubs are scrambling to strengthen their squads, while fans eagerly refresh their feeds for the latest updates.
Will Newcastle pull off any further surprises? Could there still be an unexpected breakthrough in negotiations elsewhere? As always, deadline day drama is far from finished.
