Everton outcast, Yannick Bolasie, was vocal on his Twitter account last night once again as he sung the praises of Arsenal starlet, Joe Willock.

Willock was once again given the nod for the Gunners as they cruised past Molde in the Europa League to seal qualification for the next phase.

Mikel Arteta once again rang the changes, with the likes of Willock, Nketiah, and Nelson all getting the chance to impress for the Gunners on the European stage. But it was Willock who caught the eye of a number of supporters as well as Bolasie, who took to Twitter to praise the Arsenal star’s ‘effortless’ performance.

Willock’s excellent performance was once again another example of the fine player the midfielder is becoming under Mikel Arteta. Indeed, he capped his display with a fine assist for Reiss Nelson to make it 2-0.

Bolasie isn’t the only player or pundit to be impressed with Willock of late. Former Gunners coach, Freddie Ljungberg, has also praised the Arsenal youngster in recent comments.

To say Arsenal’s future looks bright would be an understatement given the talent pool they have coming through. Willock, though, might just be the best of the lot.

The midfielder looks a class act and seems comfortable going forward and deeper. That’s the sign of a quality midfield player and he was very much at ease against Molde.

Premier League minutes won’t be too far off he continues as he is, and Arteta appears to be the man who is going to ensure Willock enjoys a fine career in the game.
