The summer transfer window has now closed for most leagues around the world. And it is hard to imagine that clubs would be open to the idea of any exits beyond this point, even if it were possible. That same should apply to Newcastle United. One could argue that Newcastle United were significantly weakened during the summer transfer window. They saw key players like Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon leave. They were not able to bring in equal quality in return. Coming into the season, Newcastle United were widely viewed as one of the contenders that will end up getting relegated. Fortunately, a good start to the campaign has lifted the mood of the supporters and things feel a lot more positive right now. In-form Newcastle United player could still leave Newcastle United have not lost a single game so far this campaign, winning three and drawing twice across all competitions. One of the primary reasons behind that is that even the club’s forgotten players have stepped up. One such player is Joe Willock. He is widely expected to leave this summer. In fact, there have been reports of Besiktas making multiple bids for him in the recently closed transfer window. And the Turkish club might not be ready to give up yet. According to a report from Turkish-football, Besiktas have not abandoned their pursuit of Willock. The Istanbul club are laying the groundwork to reignite negotiations during the January transfer window. Of course, Newcastle United could still do with more quality options in the middle of the park. But that does not mean that they can overlook the performances that someone like Willock has put in. Newcastle should keep Willock Yes, it was expected that he would leave in the summer. And to be honest, at that point, not many fans would have thought of that as a bad idea. But now, looking at it from a fresh perspective, it is quite clear that Willock can still bring a lot to the table. Even Matthias Jaissle is believed to rate him highly. That should be evident from the fact that he has started four of the five games so far this season. Willock has looked like a player reborn under Jaissle. He scored in the opening game of the campaign against Liverpool. And his second goal came against Millwall, which proved to be the winner. So, it would be safe to say that he is contributing positively to the team right now. And even if Besiktas come in with an offer in January, the Magpies should rethink the situation of Willock. He is still just 27 years of age and might still end up spending his prime years at the club. A new contract might not be too far away in the distance.
