Player Info

Joe Willock is an energetic and goal-scoring English midfielder who has become an integral part of Newcastle United's engine room in the Premier League. The 26-year-old central midfielder, standing 186cm tall, is renowned for his powerful late runs into the box, relentless energy, and improving technical game. His career began at Arsenal's famed academy, where he made his first-team debut and showed flashes of his potential. Seeking regular football, a loan move to Newcastle United in 2021 proved transformative; his impactful performances, including a record-setting scoring run for a midfielder new to the club, prompted a permanent transfer. At Newcastle, under Eddie Howe, Willock's game has matured, combining his natural attacking instincts with greater defensive responsibility. He has been a key component in the Magpies' rise, helping them secure a top-four finish and a return to the Champions League. With a high market value reflecting his status, Willock is now viewed as a top-tier Premier League midfielder with the potential to force his way into the England conversation, his dynamism and eye for goal making him a constant threat.
