Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce has confirmed they want to sign Arsenal midfielder Joe Willock in a permanent deal this summer.
Willock has been on loan at Newcastle since January after joining until the end of the current season.
The 21-year-old has impressed, with his goal in the win over Leicester last Friday his fourth in as many games.
“All of us would love to [make it permanent]," Bruce told talkSPORT.
“He's 21, a midfield player and he's got five goals since the turn of the year, so of course we want him – but we have to respect that he's Arsenal's player.
“I'm sure Arsenal will have big discussions this summer, but if there's a possibility that we can bring him back we'd love to do it."
