Newcastle United confirm loan move for 21-year-old Arsenal midfielder Joe Willock for the remainder of the season in last-minute deadline day deal

Newcastle United have confirmed the signing of Arsenal midfielder Joe Willock on loan for the rest of the season.

The Newcastle boss saw moves for Ainsley Maitland-Niles and PSG's Idrissa Gana Gueye falter, but the signing of Willock gives the Magpies the added depth in midfield Bruce wanted.
