Will Osula could emerge as Newcastle's penalty taker after Gordon's exit

Newcastle United is evaluating its options for penalty takers following Anthony Gordon's departure to Barcelona. In a recent preseason match against Darlington, Will Osula converted a penalty to help lead Newcastle to a 3-0 victory, positioning himself as a potential first-choice for the role. With Gordon previously converting all nine of his penalties last season, Osula's successful attempt may indicate a shift in responsibilities. Other candidates like Bruno Guimaraes and Nick Woltemade have missed penalties recently, potentially opening the door for Osula. This situation develops as Newcastle transitions under a new manager ahead of the Premier League season.
