Arsenal and Newcastle have been in discussions about Joe Willock's future. According to the 90mins report, an agreement between the two parties is now close. And such a trade can benefit both camps. Arsenal are eyeing the opportunity to make money on some of the more peripheral players in the squad, while Newcastle are keen to land a deal for the young Englishman.
It is precisely Joe Willock's performance for Newcastle that makes him a coveted gentleman at the club. Willock impressed last season big on his loan spell and he was a huge profile in the fight for survival. Newcastle's biggest profile in the form of winger Allan Saint Maximin has described Willock as 'a fantastic player'.
The problem for Newcastle now is only that Willock has not yet decided whether Newcastle is the right place for him in the long run. Newcastle have so far hesitated to move the talented and dangerous midfielder, and it has reportedly made Willock consider whether he should stay at the Emirates and fight for a place at The Gunners.
