Arsenal are prepared to listen to offers for Joe Willock this summer.
Willock jumped from the bench to score for loan club Newcastle in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Tottenham.
The Sunday Mirror says his impressive performances have led to Toon manager Steve Bruce becoming interested in bringing him back to the North East next season.
Newcastle are keen for that move to be a loan deal, but Arsenal want him to be playing Premier League football next term.
Relegation is not the only issue that Newcastle will be forced to overcome, with it suggested Arsenal may be open to a permanent departure for Willock.
With Newcastle not currently looking at keeping Willock long-term, and owner Mike Ashley reluctant to open the purse strings, that presents a major issue for Bruce.
Willock said after Sunday's heroics: "As a group of players, we're all willing to fight for each other collectively. If we continue to play like we did today, we'll have no problems staying in this league."
