It has now been revealed that Joe Willock is set to stay at Newcastle United.
It had been widely accepted that the former Arsenal player was going to be leaving for a new club this summer.
However, in an exclusive on Monday it has been reported by Craig Hope at The Mail that instead Joe Willock is going to remain at Newcastle United.
The media exclusive reports that Matthias Jaissle has liked what he has seen of the 27 year old and that a new contract is on the cards, with Joe Willock seemingly set to have his deal extended to the next two seasons rather than just this 2026/27 season as per his current contract.
Joe Willock came off the bench and scored almost immediately against Liverpool, he has then started in the wins against both West Brom and Tottenham.
Before the season kicked off it was reported in Turkey on the player’s 27th birthday (20 August 2026) that Besiktas had made an offer to buy Joe Willock.
The Super Lig club had been linked with Joe Willock for some time and it was claimed that a formal offer had finally been made.
The offer said to be €7m (approx £6m) plus €5m (approx £4.3m) in potential future add-ons but Newcastle United wanting €20m (approx £17.2m).
Besiktas have the offer of Europa League having come through the qualifying rounds but now he appears to be very much in Matthias Jaissle’s plans, you would imagine Joe Willock will be keen to see what he can achieve as part of this new look Newcastle United.
