Leeds United are keen on a deal for Joe Willock and have enquired about his availability during discussions over Longstaff. Newcastle are open to his sale, but Willock prefers a move to a Premier League rival.

Newcastle United is open to considering offers for Joe Willock if a substantial bid is presented. The midfielder has demonstrated moments of brilliance but has also faced inconsistent form recently. Manager Eddie Howe is reportedly willing to evaluate any significant offers during the forthcoming transfer window, as Newcastle looks to bolster their squad. With a market value of €30m, Willock offers a cost-effective option for other Premier League teams. By removing Willock's wages from their financial commitments, it could provide a significant advantage for Howe and his backroom team, potentially eliminating the need to sell any of their key players to meet Financial Fair Play requirements.
