Arsenal midfielder Joe Willock is closing in on a move to Newcastle after agreeing personal terms with the club.
The Gunners accepted a bid of over £20million for the 21-year-old earlier this week, but talks over personal terms have been slow.
Willock, however, has now agreed terms with Newcastle and he is heading north in the next 24 hours to undergo a medical.
The move is a boost for Newcastle boss Steve Bruce, who had made Willock his top transfer target this summer.
The midfielder impressed on loan at Newcastle last season and the club were keen to make his move permanent.
Talks with Arsenal progressed over the summer, before eventually a deal was struck earlier this week.
“What he’s done is put himself in a really strong position where he can choose a little bit with more options of what his future could look like, and this is what we’re trying to define right now,” said Mikel Arteta.
