Steve Bruce says that Newcastle United will keep “badgering” away in their bid to bring Joe Willock back on loan. The goal-getting midfielder has been in action for Arsenal already in pre-season after appearing as sub for the Gunners at Rangers. But despite wanting first-team action, the loan move has not moved any closer in recent days. Bruce admits he must be patient in order to sign the midfielder.
Steve Bruce said: “As I’ve said, it’s really Arsenal’s decision, and until Arsenal make a decision – a bit like all the big clubs, they have a look over pre-season – we’ll keep monitoring and badgering away. We’d love to do something but it’s still Arsenal’s call.”
