"Newcastle United midfielder Joe Willock reportedly wants to leave the club this January and they could be prepared to sanction his departure. This comes as Willock supposedly attracts transfer interest from two Premier League clubs in the form of Leeds United and Crystal Palace, according to Football Insider. Willock had initially been a key player for Newcastle when he first joined from Arsenal a few years ago, but it's fair to say he's fallen down the pecking order in more recent times."
"So far this season, the 26-year-old has started only six games in total in all competitions, so it seems clear that he needs to leave St James' Park to get his career back on track. With the likes of Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Joelinton to compete with for a place in Eddie Howe's midfield, it's not too surprising that Willock has seen less playing time."
Joe Willock wants to leave Newcastle United this January and has attracted interest from Premier League sides Leeds United and Crystal Palace. The 26-year-old has started only six games this season and has fallen down the midfield pecking order since joining from Arsenal. He faces competition from Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Joelinton for midfield places under Eddie Howe. Newcastle may sanction a departure only if they are confident the squad has sufficient depth to cope without him. Willock remains a proven Premier League player who can serve as a reliable backup. Newcastle's Champions League and Carabao Cup commitments increase the need for rotation options.
