Newcastle edge closer to Willock deal after agreeing fee with Arsenal

Newcastle United have agreed a fee in excess of £20 million with Arsenal for the permanent signing of Joe Willock.

According to The Athletic, the two clubs have reached an agreement but the Magpies still need to finalise personal terms with the midfielder.

The 21-year-old has repeatedly been linked with Newcastle after enjoying a successful loan spell with the club during the second half of last season.

Willock scored eight goals for Newcastle, helping the club safely navigate away from the relegation zone after a disappointing start to the campaign.
