Newcastle United manager Matthias Jaissle makes Joe Willock transfer decision after Liverpool goal | OneFootball

Newcastle United midfielder Joe Willock has been linked with a move away from the club this summer.

The midfielder scored an outstanding goal against Liverpool in the Premier League earlier today, and newly appointed manager Matthias Jaissle has now dropped a defining hint regarding the midfielder’s future at the club.

Joe Willock scored a stunner vs Liverpool

He has revealed (h/t Lee Ryder) that he wants to keep Willock at the club despite links with Turkish club Besiktas. It remains to be seen whether Newcastle can convince the midfielder to stay. They will need to offer him regular opportunities in order to keep him. Willock will not want to sit on the bench at Newcastle this season.

He showed his quality against Liverpool earlier today, and there is no doubt he can play regularly in the Premier League. If he can continue to impress, he is likely to get more chances in the coming weeks.

Newcastle should keep Willock

Newcastle are already lacking in quality and depth in the middle of the park, and keeping Willock at the club would be ideal. It is no surprise that Jaissle wants to hold onto the player beyond the summer.

Newcastle had a disappointing season last year, and they are going through a period of transition under a new manager. They have lost multiple players this window. They will need to rebuild the team and keep their key players. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Besiktas have identified Willock as a target this summer, and it remains to be seen whether they come forward with an offer to sign him in the remaining days of the window.
