- Jacobs reports that Willock is keen on a switch to Craven Cottage for more regular minutes.
- Reports indicate Newcastle are reluctant to let Willock leave late in the window unless a replacement is in place, aligning with Eddie Howe’s recent indication that significant changes may wait until summer.
