Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce is determined to hold onto Arsenal midfielder Joe Willock.

The loan star has netted Premier League goals in his last six matches, becoming the youngster player to do so at the age of 21.

Willock helped the Magpies to a 1-0 win over Sheffield United on Wednesday.

With Willock confirming post-game he would consider signing a permanent deal, manager Bruce told reporters: "As I have said before, it's a double-edged sword. We have to respect he's Arsenal's player. If we can, we'd love to bring him here.

"Let's see what we can do because he's exactly what we needed. Joe has still got a lot to learn but we have given him a freedom and a licence to get forward. He is a young player enjoying his football."
