Newcastle United are confident that Arsenal midfielder Joe Willock will return to St. James’ Park, according to The Express.
It is being reported this morning that Newcastle want to sign Willock on loan from Premier League rivals Arsenal.
The Gunners are yet to make a final decision on the 21-year-old midfielder, but Newcastle are confident that they will be able to bring the youngster back to the club.
Exciting for Newcastle fans
Newcastle fans will surely love this latest report about Willock.
Manager Steve Bruce has publicly expressed his interest in re-signing the English youngster.
Willock spent the second half of last season on loan at Newcastle from Arsenal and played a big role in the Magpies staving off relegation to the Championship.
The 21-year-old scored eight goals in 14 Premier League games for the Magpies.
The youngster established himself as a key figure at Newcastle, with club legend Lee Clark describing him as “outstanding” and “unbelievable” on TribalFootball last week.
A loan deal with an option to buy would be great for Newcastle.
Willock knows how much Newcastle fans love him, and playing in front of a packed St. James’ Park next season could see him elevate his game even further.
