Arsenal whizkid Willock never thought about loan move

Joe Willock says he hasn't been interested in leaving Arsenal on loan.

The teenager started both of Arsenal's Premier League games and has held his own.

Unlike other Gunners youngsters, Willock has never left on loan and he doesn't plan on doing so anytime soon.

"My head was always about playing for the Arsenal first team, that's always been my dream coming through the academy as a six-year-old," he says.

"When Unai showed confidence in me in pre-season it was inevitable that I was going to stay.I'm just trying to improve every day and give what I can to win the games.

"To be alongside my closest friend Reiss is amazing. We're living our dream."
