Joe Willock (England)

Total Appearances – 11

Positions Played – CAM, CM

Debut Season – 2017-18

The younger brother of former Arsenal starlet Chris Willock, Joe Willock has already drawn parallels with Paul Pogba for his playing style. Willock has been a major player at Under-18 level and made the step up to the senior side this season. While he had some decent cameos in the Europa League, the abysmal performance against Nottingham Forest (arguably the whole team was extremely poor) shows that Willock still has a long way to go before he breaks into the team.

What does the new manager do? A loan is probably agiven, though he may have to prove himself at the U-23 level to make a real splash at senior level.
