Steve Bruce fears Joe Willock has done 'too well' on loan spell after scoring six goals in as many games to lead Newcastle to safety... after Mikel Arteta insisted he will stay at Arsenal

Steve Bruce has admitted Joe Willock has done 'too well' in his loan spell at Newcastle.

The 21-year-old midfielder arrived at St James' Park from Arsenal in January with the Magpies head coach fighting desperately to turn around a dismal run of form.

In the 13 appearance he has made since he has scored seven goals, six of them in his last six Premier League games to become the youngest player to achieve the feat.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta said on Friday that Willock would be back in London next season and while Bruce intends to test the Spaniard's resolve, he admits his blistering form could be a hindrance.
