SHOCKING TRANSFER BOMBSHELL: Fulham SLAM £20M on the table for Newcastle’s ELECTRIC speed demon – he’s BEGGING to escape and join the crazy deadline-day heist! “I’m READY to leave RIGHT NOW” – Newcastle star’s secret desire exposed as Fulham launch INSANE raid that could DESTROY Eddie Howe’s plans! You won’t believe how desperate he is to make this move happen before the window slams shut…
Fulham have launched a late move for Newcastle United midfielder Joe Willock after submitting a £20 million offer, according to sources at GIVEMESPORT.
The west London side are eager to bolster their squad before the transfer window shuts, having recovered impressively from a sluggish start to the campaign.
Marco Silva’s men now sit just four points adrift of the Premier League’s top four, and recruitment chiefs have identified a new striker and an additional midfielder as key priorities for January.
Fulham have already strengthened their attacking options with the arrival of Norway international Oscar Bobb, but they remain active in the market.
Newcastle, meanwhile, have experienced an up-and-down season and are reluctant to allow players to leave so close to the deadline.
Eddie Howe is keen to keep his squad intact as he targets another push for Champions League qualification, with the Magpies already securing a place in the play-off round of this season’s competition.
Willock, who has previously been labelled “rapid,” has found opportunities hard to come by at St James’ Park this term.
He has started just twice in the Premier League and recently netted against Paris Saint-Germain in midweek, marking only his second Champions League start of the campaign.
Despite his limited minutes, his energy, versatility and technical quality continue to be highly valued by the Newcastle coaching staff.
Those same attributes have also attracted Fulham, who believe Willock would be a strong fit for Silva’s system.
Sources indicate that Fulham’s £20m bid was formally submitted to Newcastle but swiftly rejected by club decision-makers.
It is understood the midfielder is open to the switch, which would see him return to London after progressing through Arsenal’s academy earlier in his career.
However, Newcastle are unwilling to approve a sale unless they can secure a suitable replacement before the window closes at 7pm UK time on Monday.
Given the limited time remaining, that scenario currently appears unlikely.
Despite possessing a deep squad, Newcastle have seen several players struggle for consistency this season, prompting Howe to rotate his lineup more frequently.
The recent draw with PSG highlighted the benefits of that approach, as Willock was handed a start and played a key role in helping the team earn a positive result.
Capable of operating in multiple midfield roles as well as out wide, Willock offers flexibility that could prove crucial during the demanding months ahead.
If he can maintain his fitness, he is expected to be an important contributor, and losing him without a replacement would represent a significant setback for Newcastle.
