Newcastle United's new manager, Matthias Jaissle, has signaled his intention to keep midfielder Joe Willock at the club this summer, despite recent transfer rumors linking him with an exit.
Willock, who recently scored a spectacular goal against Liverpool, has been a name mentioned in connection with a move, reportedly to Turkish club Besiktas. However, Jaissle appears keen to retain the player's services.
The midfielder showcased his undeniable talent against Liverpool, proving he can still be a potent force in the Premier League. To secure his commitment, Newcastle may need to offer Willock consistent game time, as he's unlikely to be content with a bench role.
With Newcastle navigating a period of transition under new management and already facing squad depth issues in midfield, keeping a player of Willock's caliber is seen as crucial for rebuilding the team. The club has already seen several players depart this window.
Besiktas are reportedly interested in Willock, and it remains to be seen if they will make a formal offer before the transfer window closes. The coming days will be key in determining Willock's future at St. James' Park.
