What happened. Joe Willock is closing in on a £17.4m move to Besiktas, with Newcastle having rejected a £10m bid earlier this summer.

• Arsenal agreed a sell-on clause in Willock's 2021 move.
• Willock's agent has been in Turkey to discuss personal terms.
• Willock is in the final 12 months of his Newcastle contract.

If the move completes, Arsenal will receive a percentage of the fee thanks to the sell-on clause.
