Newcastle United are prepared to pay cash to sign Arsenal midfielder Joe Willock outright.
The Telegraph says Willock's Arsenal future could be set for another twist with Newcastle ready to meet the Gunners' demands.
The Magpies are now finally willing to pay the £22m fee that Arsenal have set for the midfield ace.
Willock sparkled during a six-month spell at St.James Park last season, netting a remarkable eight goals in 14 Premier League games.
It was reported just days ago that Willock had been told by boss Mikel Arteta that he was in his first team plans this season.
But this latest development could change that, with Arsenal looking to free up funds to help them maneuver in the transfer market.
