Arsenal face a dilemma over the future of midfielder Joe Willock.
The 21-year old academy graduate has been on loan at Newcastle since January and has impressed, scoring four times for the Magpies, including the injury-time equaliser against Liverpool on Saturday.
And he has played a vital role in helping steer the club to virtual Premier League safety.
Newcastle manage Steve Bruce has already indicated that he would love to convert the loan into a permanent move, and Arsenal may eb tempted given that he could command a price tag of £20 million and the team needs to sell to fund their transfer activity.
On the other hand, he ahs scored more goals for Newcastle in his brief time with them, than the rest of their midfielders have managed all season between them, and their must be a temptation to try and integrate him back into their squad ahead of next season.
