Alan Shearer has suggested on Twitter that he hopes that Joe Willock does not go back to Arsenal and stays at Newcastle United.
The Newcastle legend was responding, as shown below, when BBC Sport posed a question on Twitter about the future of Willock.
The 21-year-old midfielder joined Newcastle on loan from Premier League rivals Arsenal in the January transfer window.
The English youngster scored the opening goal for the Magpies in their 4-2 win against Leicester City away from home at the King Power Stadium in the Premier League this evening.
Shearer’s post suggests that he wants Willock to stay at Newcastle beyond the summer, and one suspects that the Magpies’ fans will hope that it is the case.
The 21-year-old has been brilliant for the Magpies during his loan spell so far, scoring important goals from midfield and playing well in the middle of the park.
Willock has scored five goals in 11 Premier League matches for Newcastle this season.
The midfielder seems to be enjoying his football at Newcastle, and it would make sense for the Magpies to try to extend his loan spell.
