A number of Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to comment on reports from the Daily Mail claiming that Newcastle have made Joe Willock a top loan target.

Willock is facing an uncertain future. He has made just two Premier League starts this term, and he has often been left on the bench in recent times.

And now it appears that he could be on the move in the final hours of the window. According to the Daily Mail, the Magpies are pushing for the 21-year-old to join on loan.

It is claimed that the midfielder is Newcastle’s top target ahead of the deadline. However, Arsenal are said to have reservations about letting Willock go amid doubts over Ainsley Maitland-Niles’s future.

The Mail suggests that a host of Premier League clubs – including Newcastle – want Maitland-Niles on loan. And it appears that his departure would leave Arsenal reluctant to let Willock follow him out the door.

The links with Newcastle have largely been met by a positive reaction amongst Arsenal fans on social media.

Many think that a switch to St James’ Park would be perfect for the youngster. He has shown that he has enormous talent. But he now needs to prove that he can make a consistent impact at the highest level.

That could be difficult at Arsenal. So for several supporters, a loan to Newcastle would be ideal at this stage of his career.
