Newcastle United midfielder Joe Willock has discovered what his pace rating is on FIFA 21, and the midfielder is furious with how low it is.
Magpies midfielder Willock joined the club from Arsenal in February on a season-long loan deal and has established himself as a key player under Steve Bruce, scoring six goals in just 12 Premier League appearances so far this season.
His impressive form has seen him linked with a move to St. James Park this summer, with former United striker Andy Cole recently urging the youngster to complete a permanent move to Newcastle this summer to secure regular first-team football.

After representing the club on the pitch, Willock recently represented the club off the pitch in a video that was posted on the Sky Sports Premier League Twitter account, with Willock and striker Callum Wilson both featuring on 'Newcastle vs FIFA 21'.
In the video, the host Adam Smith asks Willock who is the quickest player at Newcastle United on FIFA 21.
"Probably Allan (Saint-Maximin), no?" Said Willock.
When Smith confirms that Willock was right, in that Saint-Maximin is the quickest United player on FIFA 21, Smith then reveals the Frenchman has a pace rating of 93 out of 100.
At this point, Willock visibly reacts and doesn't look at all convinced by Saint-Maximin's 93 out of 100 pace, with Wilson going on to say how sharp the winger is.
At this point, Willock interjects: "But he's not 93!"
"I don't think he's a 93."
Wilson then wades in on the debate.
"Yeah he's very... like his acceleration is so sharp," Said Wilson.
"If you're talking about top speed, Joe's up there!"
Willock then inquires about his pace on FIFA 21, with Smith revealing that the midfielder only has 75 pace on the game, significantly lower than Saint-Maximin.
And Willock was not happy.
"The people that are doing the ratings on FIFA need to maybe look at people's high speed or something before they rate them.
"Get more data on players before they rate them."
Do you agree with Willock and Saint-Maximin's pace ratings on FIFA 21? Or, do you think they should be higher?
