AS Monaco have expressed interest in Arsenal midfielder Joe Willock.

Willock is expected to be made available on-loan this new season and is wanted back at Newcastle United after last term's success.

However, RMC says Monaco are also keen.

ASM are in contact with Arsenal to register their interest, with the Ligue Une outfit pursuing an initial loan arrangement.

Newcastle remain keen, where manager Steve Bruce has spoken openly about a new deal for the England U21 international.
