Arsenal midfielder Joe Willock is poised for a move to Newcastle United on loan as Steve Bruce looks to bolster his squad on transfer deadline day.

Willock has made 17 first-team appearances under Mikel Arteta this season, scoring three goals, but has been limited to just two starts in the Premier League.

It’s thought he might benefit from a spell away from the Emirates on loan and Newcastle have emerged as the most likely contenders.

Willock is one of two loan deals Bruce’s team is pushing for on deadline day, according to The Telegraph.

Leicester star Hamza Choudhury is also lined up for a move to the north east.

The Willock deal is currently more likely, although it’s still unclear if he will agree to move to Newcastle.

Choudhury has agreed to move on loan but his hopes of an exit could be denied by injury problems at Leicester.

Bruce is due to speak to Foxes manager Brendan Rodgers to get a firm yes or no on that deal.

Arteta believes that a move to Newcastle would be the ideal test for Willock at this stage in his career.

Bruce is expecting a firm answer within the coming hours.

Southampton v Arsenal - Premier League

Arsenal midfielder Matt Smith has moved to Charlton Athletic on loan for the rest of the season after being recalled from his previous loan at Swindon Town.

The 20-year-old has been a regular in the Swindon team so far this season, making 24 appearances for the side struggling near the foot of the League One table.

He has moved back to London and up the League One table by joining Charlton for the rest of the season, with the Addicks seventh in the table and very much in the hunt for the play-offs and a return to the Championship.

Smith has been at Arsenal since the age of seven but is yet to make a senior appearance for the Gunners, although he has come close.

The youngster has been on the bench in the Premier League and was an unused substitute in the FA Cup final last season when Arsenal beat Chelsea to lift the trophy.

Smith said of his move to The Valley: ‘I’m really excited, I’m really looking forward to getting started. I feel I can learn a lot off the manager and from the experienced players here.

‘It’s a new challenge for me and ultimately I want to come here and help the team get promotion and have a strong second half to the season.’

Charlton boss Lee Bowyer added: ‘I think he suits the way we play, he’s an energetic midfielder. I like that he looks to play forward every time he receives the ball, he’s going to be another good addition to our squad.

‘We know with players we’ve had previously from Arsenal, they are all good and comfortable on the ball and importantly he has played men’s football before so he should hit the ground running.’

Former Arsenal forward Andy Cole has praised Mikel Arteta’s decision to blood the youngsters in recent weeks and says Emile Smith Rowe is the pick of a ‘really exciting’ bunch.

The Gunners’ form has been transformed in the last six weeks since Smith Rowe was brought into the side and the side are unbeaten in the Premier League since a 2-1 defeat to Everton before Christmas.

That recent run has reignited Arsenal’s hopes of a European finish this term and the club’s decision to offload the likes of Mesut Ozil, Sead Kolasinac and Sokratis has given more room to a host of talented younsters such as Reiss Nelson.

Cole started his career in north London before making a name for himself at Newcastle and Manchester United but the former England striker says he’s been impressed with Smith Rowe.

‘I’m very, very excited by the Arsenal youngsters,’ Cole told Premier League Prodcutions.

‘I was at Arsenal when I was a kid and I know what Arsenal’s potential is like for bringing through kids because back in my day virtually all of the first team was kids.

‘To see Emile Smith Rowe playing I’m really, really pleased that Arteta has given him the opportunity to play in the first team.

‘He’s gone out there and done extremely well. He’s a real, real bright youngster.’

Arsenal will be hoping to continue their recent revival when they travel to face Wolves at Molineux on Tuesday.

The Gunners are set to be without Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang again as the striker has been given time off due to family reasons.

Alexandre Lacazette is expected to be cleared to play after sustaining a head injury in the dying moments of Saturday’s draw with Manchester United.

Liverpool are in talks with Schalke to sign Ozan Kabak before the transfer deadline, according to reports in Germany.

The Premier League champions are aiming to strengthen their options in central defence before the window closes at 11pm on Monday evening.

Liverpool have already agreed a £2 million deal with Preston North End to sign defender Ben Davies, and the 25-year-old is due to undergo a medical on Monday.

Jurgen Klopp’s side also came close to signing Marseille centre-back Duje Caleta-Car but the French club pulled the plug on the deal on Sunday evening as they are concerned about finding a replacement in time.

According to Sky Germany, Liverpool have now turned their attention back to Kabak and are looking to sign the 20-year-old on loan with an option to buy this summer.

It’s claimed that Liverpool are looking to pay a loan fee of around £2.5m for the Turkey international.

Schalke, meanwhile, are open to letting Kabak leave but want to secure a replacement before their transfer window closes at 6pm in the UK.

The Bundesliga club have held talks with Arsenal over the signing of Shkodran Mustafi, and it’s understood that the Gunners are demanding a €2m (£1.7m) fee for the 28-year-old.

Schalke and Arsenal already have a good relationship after the Gunners agreed to loan Sead Kolasinac to the German side earlier this month.
