A lot of Newcastle United fans have flocked to a post from NUFC 360, which has relayed news from The Athletic’s Ornstein & Chapman podcast (via HITC) regarding Joe Willock.
David Ornstein claimed that Arsenal would reject any offer of around £10m or £15m, but if an offer of £20m or £25m were to arrive, the Gunners would perhaps consider it.
So, it looks like the Toon have been set a price tag, and these fans gave their thoughts on this new claim.
“I reckon we could get him for £25m which would be an absolute steal. He’s worth about £35m imo.”
“Get on with it”
“Worth £20m easy when you compare him to the money we’ve spent over the last few years… huge impact on our season this year and loved playing for us.. GET IT DONE”
Willock was an inspired signing for Newcastle as he scored eight Premier League goals to end the season as their second-highest goalscorer, despite only joining the club in January.
This post continued to draw in these Toon fans, who had their say.
“£40 million for Joelinton, £20-£25 million for Willock……no brainer.”
“If we sign him for £25m that’s an absolute bargain.”
“Swap deal for Hendrick”
Do you think Newcastle will put a deal together for Willock?
Yes, they have to
No, we probably won't even try
Now a potential price tag has been set, it is down to Newcastle to put together a bid that can convince the Gunners to part ways with Willock.
