Newcastle United are increasingly hopeful of securing another loan deal for Arsenal midfielder Joe Willock, The Mail reports.
Willock joined the Magpies during the back end of last season, and proved a tremendous signing with eight goals from 14 appearances.
He scored goals in seven consecutive league games to end the season, and manager Steve Bruce has been vocal about re-signing him.
It is now reported that the hierarchy are highly optimistic that they can bring the 21-year-old back to Tyneside for another year.
