Five shots in defeat

November 26, 2025
Willock generated five shots (two on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat versus Marseille. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 20th minute.
ANALYSIS
Willock was the surprise inclusion in the starting XI for Wednesday's clash at the Velodrome and was key to Newcastle's best attacking moments on the counters. In the first half he threaded a through ball that released Anthony Gordon forcing Geronimo Rulli into one of his better saves. Even after falling behind he kept carrying the ball out of pressure attempting five shots and creating three chances both season highs. This was Willock's second start of the season and the first one since late September. That said, the midfielder should remain only the back up option to Joelinton moving forward.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Crystal Palace showing interest
MNewcastle United
May 11, 2025
Crystal Palace are interested in signing Willock, according to The Chronicle Live.
ANALYSIS
Willock is dealing with a minor thigh injury, but that shouldn't impact him on a long-term basis. The central midfielder has been relegated to a secondary role at Newcastle, and he'd be interested in pursuing a move to Crystal Palace, as he would have a bigger chance of seeing regular minutes, particularly if Adam Wharton departs the club in the summer.
