Arsenal set asking price for Joe Willock

Arsenal are prepared to consider offers of around £30m for Joe Willock during the forthcoming transfer window.

The 21-year-old made the switch to Newcastle United on loan in January, and he has excelled for them by scoring six Premier League goals.

He has recently netted in five successive appearances, and Magpies boss Steve Bruce is keen on signing him permanently.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Gunners will demand a premium price for the midfielder amid his impressive loan stint.

He was valued at £20m last year, but the club have upped their price tag to around £30m ahead of this summer's transfer window.

Willock has two years remaining on his contract, and the Gunners' hierarchy are open to selling him as part of the summer overhaul.

Aside from Willock, Eddie Nketiah, Reiss Nelson and Ainsley Maitland-Niles are among the other graduates, who could leave.

Maitland-Niles is attracting interest from Everton, Leicester City, Manchester United, Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
