Willock, in his interview with the Newcastle website, on Friday, August 13th, 2021, expressed his excitement about joining the club on a permanent deal. He also spoke about how he can not wait to play in front of the fans.
The 21-year-old thanked the management, fans, and everyone who made his journey easy at his former club, Arsenal.
I am buzzing to be here; I loved my time here last season and I’m really happy to be back and to be a Newcastle player.
Leaving Arsenal is obviously a big step and I will like to thank everyone involved with the club for all their support over the years, but this is the right move to the right club at the right time.
I only got one chance to play in front of a smaller number of Newcastle fans as a home player last season, so i can’t wait to step out in front of a packed St. James’ Park and experience teh atmosphere.
During his time at Newcastle last season, he became the youngest player to ever score in seven consecutive Premier League matches.
