Newcastle are hoping to sign Joe Willock from Arsenal this summer, but the 21-year-old is being calm about the speculation if his Instagram story is anything to go by.
Willock posted a picture of himself training with the Gunners on Tuesday morning and hailed his brother Chris who plays for Queens Park Rangers.
Joe has made 78 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal since rising through the youth ranks to the first-team, scoring 11 goals with four assists. He’s fallen down the pecking order under Mikel Arteta, however, and finds Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka, Mohamed Elneny, new-boy Sambi Lokonga and Lucas Torreira standing in his way of getting playing time.
As for Chris, the 23-year-old left Arsenal in 2017 for Benfica and spent three years in Portugal before returning to England permanently. Willock has made 39 appearances across the board for QPR and has two years remaining on his contract.
He looks set to stay in London, but his brother Joe is heading for Newcastle on a permanent basis after impressing on loan the previous season.
