Newcastle United are keen on signing Joe Willock on a loan deal.
According to the Telegraph, the Magpies believe that they are close to finalizing the transfer for the 21-year-old midfielder.
The Arsenal midfielder was on loan at St James’ Park last season and he was outstanding for the Magpies.
The 21-year-old scored eight goals in just 14 appearances before returning to his parent club and it is no surprise that Newcastle are looking to bring him back once again.
The report from Telegraph adds that the player wants to return to Newcastle next season and he has an excellent relationship with head coach Steve Bruce.
The youngster will need regular first-team football in order to continue his development and he is unlikely to get the opportunity at Arsenal.
A move back to Newcastle on loan since ideal for all parties involved.
Meanwhile, the report further states that the Magpies are keeping tabs on the Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher.
The 21-year-old was on loan at West Brom last season and he was outstanding for the Baggies despite their relegation to the Championship.
Apparently, Newcastle are monitoring the player’s situation and the midfielder will be allowed to leave Stamford Bridge next season on loan again.
Signing the two midfielders on loan deals would represent excellent business for the Premier League side and they will be able to invest their transfer budget in the other areas of the squad.
