The agreement, set for four years, marks a significant milestone for the Magpies as they continue to build a formidable squad to compete at the highest levels of English and European football.

Victor Osimhen, 25, has been a sensation in Serie A since joining Napoli from Lille in 2020. His impressive tally of goals and assists has made him one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe. Last season, Osimhen netted 26 goals in the league, helping Napoli secure a top-four finish and a spot in the Champions League. His blend of pace, physicality, and clinical finishing has drawn comparisons to some of the best strikers in the world.
Speaking about his move to Newcastle, Osimhen expressed his excitement and ambition. “I am thrilled to join Newcastle United at such an exciting time for the club. The vision and project here are incredibly ambitious, and I am looking forward to contributing to the team’s success. The Premier League is one of the best leagues in the world, and I can’t wait to test myself against some of the best defenders.”
Newcastle’s head coach, Eddie Howe, also shared his enthusiasm for the new signing. “Victor is a player we have admired for a long time. His goal-scoring record speaks for itself, and he brings a lot of qualities that will benefit the team. He is young, hungry, and has the potential to become a top player in the Premier League. We are delighted to have him on board and look forward to working with him.”
The acquisition of Osimhen is a testament to Newcastle’s growing ambition and financial muscle under its new ownership. The club’s supporters are optimistic that this signing will propel Newcastle back into contention for major honors, including a potential push for the Premier League title and deep runs in European competitions.
Osimhen’s signing is expected to be a catalyst for further high-profile acquisitions, as Newcastle aims to build a squad capable of challenging the traditional top clubs in England. With the Nigerian striker leading the line, Newcastle United fans have every reason to be excited about the future.
