It’s all happening at St. James’ Park, after last season’s successful loan signing from Arsenal, Joe Willock, was pictured on his way up to Newcastle on Friday afternoon, to complete a permanent switch.
That will surely delight manager, Steve Bruce, who appeared destined to lose out on Willock’s services at one stage.

The player is virtually guaranteed to be a starter for the Magpies, and that will almost certainly have been a major factor in his decision.

Good move Joe!
There was no guarantees of anything at Arsenal, but you’ve gone to a club where you can start every time, and where you will grow in confidence. From a fellow Gooner.
Joe had to do the best for him. But I am rather disappointed with the way Arteta and Edu have connived to let such a star slip through their fingers. This is another Serge scenario.
Happy for you Joe. I do not believe Arteta would have given you a fair chance. Steve Bruce has certainly proven your importance and abilities. Wish you the best! Remaining at Arsenal would be the wrong thing to do.
Good luck Joel ,we love you but our project need quality like Madison, Auoar or locattel,we will resign you in future.All the best bro
Good move, best of luck.
Bro we love you at gunners but you have to create your own confidence always proud of arsenal bro
This is a good move for the young lad. But do Arsenal hierarchy knotted all ends in the contract? Do they include sell-on clause? Do we have a re-signing clause in the contract?
If all this are not done, we might just be talking about another Gnabry and Mallyen scenario here.
Joe, wish you a successful season.

All the best, Joe. Arteta is stubborn, he has no knowledge how to rectify the system for the best player. You are not fit into his system, you are just wasting time if you stay. I know you can be a GREAT game changer, go and show Arteta your potential.
Whoa, unbelievable stuff, not even a Loan…
This kid will make it to World cup, potentially be season MVP contender if he takes it where he left at; obviously
While Arsenal been irritating & stressfull past 18 months, it was a a delight to watch our boy perform so well.
It somehow made up for our pour season, a real pride & fresh air for many of us…
Well said Iwa, system must fit players, Arteta system doesn’t fit to anyone, he has no clue…
Willock is like a Pogba, but faster and more lethal. He is hard to compare to any other player really, he IS Willock; a star Indeed
Needs to be on pitch & grow, still very young lad but what an explosive & all around skilled player with character.
Im surprised Chelsea doesn’t jump, or City, Barcelona, Real or Bayern
That’s Willock’s potential. A Loan at Dortmund was to me the best move but this IS a great choice, to take it where he left it from.
He will obviously be sold twice more to a top club next year.!
