Joe Willock could be on the move this summer, with the Newcastle United midfielder attracting growing interest from multiple Premier League clubs.
At 25, Willock is entering a crucial stage of his career, but a combination of injuries and stiff competition for places limited his involvement at St James’ Park last season, leaving him open to a fresh challenge elsewhere.
Among the clubs monitoring Willock’s situation closely are London duo Fulham and Crystal Palace, sources close to the agent industry have informed CaughtOffside.
Joe Willock is edging closer to Newcastle United exit
Fulham manager Marco Silva is eager to strengthen his squad to mount a push for European qualification, and Willock has emerged as a key target for the Cottagers.
The West London side see his energy and box-to-box ability as an ideal fit for Silva’s system, especially with Newcastle open to offers as they look to raise funds and comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, have identified Willock as a potential replacement should Eberechi Eze leave Selhurst Park. With Eze attracting serious interest from Arsenal, Palace are preparing for all scenarios and view Willock as a player who can bring quality to their midfield should Eze depart this summer.
Newly-promoted Leeds United are also in the mix, looking to add proven Premier League quality to their midfield as they aim to solidify their top-flight status.
Willock’s ability to break lines and arrive in the box makes him an appealing option for the Yorkshire side, particularly if other targets slip away.
West Ham United are another club exploring midfield reinforcements, with Willock’s versatility and Premier League experience impressing Graham Potter’s side.
