Willock to join Newcastle in a permanent deal
Steve Bruce has finally got his man as Newcastle have reportedly sealed a deal to sign Arsenal midfielder Joe Willock.
The Magpies boss made it no secret he wanted Willock back after a successful loan spell last season. This time, however, it will be a permanent deal. Newcastle and Arsenal have agreed on a £20 million (€23.6m) transfer fee.

Kounde ‘confident’ of Chelsea move
Jules Kounde is reportedly ‘confident’ transfer talks with Chelsea will progress soon.
The Blues’ interest in the Sevilla defender has taken a backseat recently in light of their pursuit of Romelu Lukaku. But with a €115 million fee agreed with Inter Milan, the Belgian could arrive in London shortly. Therefore, Chelsea can return their focus back to signing Kounde. [ABC Sevilla via Sport Witness]
