Joe Willock spent most of his 2018/19 campaign playing in the Premier League 2 and representing Arsenal’s Under 23 squad.

It was a season of progress as he managed a total of 12 appearances for the youth team, scoring six goals and assisting two along the way, which is more than a decent return.

He also made some preliminary strides to establish himself in the senior team, appearing in six games under Unai Emery, including a start on the final day of the season against Burnley and a cameo off the bench in the Europa League final.

As the 2019/20 season looms, Willock will be looking to improve his record as he is set to join Arsenal’s senior squad from the very start of the campaign.

Willock has already been training with the squad as they gear up for the pre-season tour and he recently posted an Instagram snap from a session.

This was met with plenty of positive feedback from teammates and friends, who were quick to post messages of support in the comment sections below.

Willock will now be wearing the number 28 shirt and will start the 2019/20 Premier League campaign as a senior Gunner.
