The 21-year-old played 21 times for the Blades in the English top-flight as they were relegated last season, having spent the previous campaign on loan in the third tier at Derby.
Osula started his career with hometown club Copenhagen before moving to Yorkshire side Sheffield United in 2018.
"It's a big club, a great club, so I'm very happy for the opportunity to join Newcastle United," he told his new team's website. "It's a great opportunity, and as soon as I heard about Newcastle's interest I knew I had to take the chance to join this club if it came.
"It has come and I'm really happy to be here."
