Steve Bruce has insisted he will keep 'badgering away' at Arsenal to let Newcastle have Joe Willock back on loan next season.
Willock joined the Magpies on loan in January in search of first-team football, and was a crucial part in Bruce's side comfortably maintaining their Premier League status by finishing 12th.
The 21-year-old midfielder made 14 appearances for Newcastle and scored an impressive eight goals during his short stay. Willock scored in each of the last seven matches of the season.
As such it is unsurprising that Bruce wants to renew the deal and bring Willock back to St James Park.
