Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe believes there's more to come from Joe Willock.

Willock has yet to score this season but, tellingly, is one of a handful of players who have started all of Howe's first five games in charge.

"He's a player I really believe in," Howe told reporters. "He's got a lot of great attributes. We probably haven't seen the very best of him this season.

"I can only talk about since I've worked with him. I've seen a player who's really motivated to do well. He's very conscientious and goes about his work in a really good way.

"I think we'll see him get better and better throughout the season. He missed quite a bit of pre-season. I think he's had a bit of a stop-start nature to his work this year but, hopefully, with a consistent body of work behind him, we'll see him play at his true level, which is a very high one."
