According to the Athletic, Joe Willock has agreed to sign for Newcastle.
They claim he has agreed personal terms on a six-year contract at St James’ Park.
Willock is travelling to Newcastle today (Thursday) and his medical is scheduled already.
He’ll undergo it tomorrow before signing on a deal which is set to be worth more than £20 million.
This is the news Newcastle fans have been waiting all summer for.
It has taken a while to get the deal over the line but it looks like it is going to get done now.
Newcastle have found the money in their budget and will finally make their first signing of the summer.
It’s the boost the fans needed after a frustrating summer ahead of a season where not too much is expected.
Willock should help improve Newcastle’s creativity; adding another source of goals and a stream of assists for Callum Wilson.
If he hadn’t come in, it really would have been a worrying window for Steve Bruce.
But now it seems it’s just the final details to sort before Willock commits his long-term future to Newcastle.
