Some Arsenal fans on Twitter believe that the Gunners did a good job selling Joe Willock to Newcastle United following his performance against Leeds United on Friday night.

What’s the story?

Willock spent the second half of last season on loan at Newcastle from Arsenal.

Newcastle decided to secure the services of the 22-year-old midfielder on a permanent contract in the summer transfer window.

According to Sky Sports, the Magpies paid Arsenal £25 million for Willock.

The English youngster scored eight goals in 11 Premier League starts for Newcastle during his loan spell last season.

However, Willock has not scored in four Premier League matches for the Magpies so far this season.

What are Arsenal fans saying?

As you can see from the tweets below, Arsenal fans are now praising the club for selling Willock in the summer transfer window.

Well, some of them anyway.

Willock is not looking the player he was during his loan spell at Newcastle.

The midfielder is trying his best, but he is unable to affect games like he did last season.

However, we must remember that this is only the start of the new campaign.

Moreover, Willock is only 22.

Newcastle fans will hope that Willock starts banging in the goals from midfield soon.
