As reported by Sky Sports and The Athletic, the Arsenal has reached an agreement with Newcastle United for the sale of Joe willock, one of Mikel Arteta’s discards for the next Premier League season. The figure of his departure would be valued at 20 million euros, although the possibility that it could be much more is handled, although they are handled in variables.
Joe Willock played the second half of the season on loan to Steve Bruce’s Newcastle United, where he performed at a spectacular level. He helped the team move away from relegation places as they suffered serious injuries like Callum Wilson’s. Arsenal closes the sale of a young talent who did not fit into the idea of ​​Arteta and now he will be able to show himself in a team with a lot of individual talent so as not to have to suffer in the fight for relegation.
The target is Maddison
Arsenal, which has closed the incorporations of Nuno Tavares, Andre Sambi Lokonga and Ben White, continues to work on the arrival of James Maddison, one of the stars of Leicester City in recent seasons and who would become the replacement of Martin Odegaard, who they failed to sign this summer.
The English midfielder is of the profile that Arteta likes and that fits perfectly in the midfielder area alongside Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka.
The only problem with his signing is that Leicester City is asking for 70 million euros to get out of it and, to reach this figure, the Gunner club needs to leave players who do not enter into the planning of the coaching staff to make money and pay its incorporation.
