The young Danish forward has found first-team minutes hard to come by this season, but grabbed his first Premier League goal with a flying header against Ipswich Town. With four games to go he may yet showcase his talents further and put himself in the mind of Eddie Howe for next season.

Already, talk of a loan deal next term for the ex-Derby County and Sheffield United youngster has been played down. And Burn knows that if Osula shows the type of prowess that earned him his first top-flight goal, he won't do badly.
