WILL JOE WILLOCK PERFORM AT NEWCASTLE THIS SEASON?

After sealing his desired move to Newcastle United this summer, Joe Willock will be keen to take off from where he stopped last season as he would love to continue impressing the Tyneside club. Willock left Arsenal to join Newcastle on a season-long loan last season and he was nothing short of a sensation for Steve Bruce’s men as he could not stop scoring for the club. He kept scoring in the games he played for the club even though he was starting games from the bench week in week out. His exceptional form saw him write his name in the history books of the English Premier League as the youngest player to score in seven consecutive league games, with most of those games being as a substitute.

KRAFTH HELPS SWEDEN TO GOOD POINT

Newcastle United defender Emil Krafthcame on for the final 15 minutes of the game to help Sweden get their Euro 2020 campaign to a decent start with an impressive goalless draw with hosts Spain in Group E.

Krafth was not always in the starting XI at Newcastle United last season but he did more than enough to make the 26-man Sweden squad for the ongoing Euro 2020 tournament though Lustigwas preferred to him for the Swedes’ opening game of the tournament against home team Spain in Seville.
