With game time hard to come by at Arsenal<\/a>, according to Chris Wheatley of Football London<\/a>, Joe Willock<\/a> is available for a loan move.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The young midfielder once looked ready to fill the creative void in the Arsenal side but has lost that place to the emerging Emile Smith Rowe.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Following Martin Odegaard’s<\/a> arrival, too, Willock will move further down the pecking order- making a move away from the Emirates the best chance for first-team football.<\/span><\/p>\n

Willock Available for Loan Move<\/span><\/h2>\n

Willock Could Join List of January Departures<\/span><\/h3>\n

So far this month. Arsenal have cleared out Sokratis<\/a>, Mesut Ozil<\/a> and Sead Kolasinac<\/a> on loan. Now, Ainsley Maitland-Niles looks set to join the list of departures with both West Bromwich Albion and Southampton reportedly interested in taking the midfielder on loan.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Joe Willock could join his fellow academy graduate, too, in pursuing a loan move having featured just seven times in the Premier League this season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 21-year-old would certainly add plenty to many sides nearer the bottom of the league who are struggling for goals. The likes of Sheffield United and Newcastle United could do with a creator and a short-term loan for Willock could be the perfect deal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For now, his short-term future remains unclear. Whilst Willock is reportedly available on loan, reports of any offers have so far been scarce.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Could be the Difference-Maker for Many Sides<\/span><\/h3>\n

When taking a look at the type of player Willock is, it is clear he has plenty of talent to offer in abundance; it’s just about receiving consistent first-team football to realise that talent to its full potential.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At Arsenal, that is not possible right now with Odegaard and Smith Rowe’s emergence putting an end to his chances of game time. Elsewhere, however, Willock could find his form on loan.<\/span><\/p>\n
