The 21-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Newcastle from Arsenal.
The English midfielder has now moved back to St. James’ Park on a permanent contract.
Willock has signed a long-term contract with Newcastle.
What’s the immediate reaction?
Former Newcastle stars Shearer and Enrique have taken to social media to revel in the signing, as you can see below.
Great signing for Newcastle
Willock was brilliant during his loan spell at Newcastle last season and played a big role in the club staving off the dreaded drop to the Championship.
The 21-year-old scored eight goals in 11 Premier League starts for Steve Bruce’s side.
The youngster got an extended run in the team, and he repaid Bruce’s faith in him by scoring important goals.
Newcastle fans will now expect Willock to build on that and do even better this season and beyond.
The Magpies will hope to do better this season than just stay up.
